STUDIO ASSISTANT
Work alongside a professional photographer who works with advertising clients. My studio is located in the Oakland hills on a rural farm. I’m looking for someone to work with me two days/week - Monday and Tuesday. The job description would include a number of roles in the areas of marketing, production and studio assisting. Ideal candidate will have completed 2 or 4 years of college course work and is eager to learn all aspects of a commercial art studio. I’ve done this for 30 years and I love mentoring people who are serious about learning. Professionalism and punctuality are a must, though past experience is not a disqualifier.
