I've seen enough assistant cards and flyers to last me a lifetime and this one caught my eye. First off, it says photo assistant. I have a pet peeve about cards that say photographer and are assisting...I know it is a small detail but for some reason if the card says photo assistant, I tend to give it better rank. Sounds stupid but I feel that way. Second, there's a clean image of the person. I've seen assistant cards with their work. I think it is just better to have a photo of yourself...besides they're hiring you as an assistant, not shooter. Third, I like how she has quotes from other photographers which I think is a great idea and I personally haven't seen before in an assistant's card. Fourth, it is an easy read "5"9 of solid yoga muscle" and "strength of an assistant with the mind of a producer". Shows character. I've seen enough flyers that just lists equipment and doesn't tell anything about the person. I think showing a bit of yourself is an extra benefit that may lead photographers to call you.
Kudos Gina !

Oh by the way, we have an area near our entrance where folks are free to leave flyers and cards so feel free to drop things off here.
Wearing a pack like that will cause injury... she should adjust it.
ReplyDeleteGood card though.
