I use an assistant and believe me when I say they are a valuable asset to have, mine handles lighting and camera as well as watch the screen on a tethered shoot to let me know if everything is ok. This way I keep shooting.

For those that are interested, Roversi shot a similar “white story” theme for Vogue Italia in April 2010

I completely agree….when you can have an assistant setup your camera and place your lights in the general area you need them, it allows you to really build a connection with your subject and notice the fine details. If the biggest photographers in the world have assistants who do most of the heavy lifting then I think it’s safe to say there is a reason for it…and it’s not all just ego :)

:-) no no, they can still be helpful. Think, they can load fresh media cards, new batteries, different lenses etc. Photographer gets to stay focused on the shooting aspect once everything has started…

I love having an assistant…it helps me stay focused on the client/model if I dont have to worry about the gear

I’m so tired of seeing assistants handing photographers cameras.
A dead relic of the film shoot days when they were helpful, but now with digital, it’s just pure ego.

Girls with Nikons are cool! It looks like she was using then 85 1.4 D on that shoot.
