Reasons for hiring an assistant
Now, my office has two assistants, Konai and Sato. Although both of them work as my assistants, on the other hand, the opportunity to entrust photography has also increased recently, so I think a lot of people already know their names.
The two men entered the firm in 2013. Mitsui was in October, and Sato entered the office a month later in November. In fact, we have acted together and done a lot of work together over the past eight years.

Because in addition to the large rental studio, in a place that is not like this, there will be free assistants to wait on the day of shooting, and it is not irrelevant that the situation of the shooting environment itself has changed. Because cameras and lighting devices have also evolved, there is no need for anyone to change the exposure, help operate on the side of the camera, and so on. Even other related devices, there are many can cope with remote control, this is also one of the reasons.
So it's "Why I hire an assistant" because, as I told you in this series, I need a lot of hands to shoot. When you get sick, you become the style of not looking at the viewfinder, or because of this, you need to shoot the scissors hand with a back monitor. Of course, the reason for needing an assistant is not just me, but it is because of someone's hands. In any case, I like to be busy, and there are all kinds of reasons in the context of the need for an assistant.
