perret_guillaume Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Hello ! I live in Macon , in France . I want TO GET A JOB IN PHOTOGRAPHY in USA : Digital cameras sale or weddings, (or something else). I'm not a professionnal but my father is a photographer and he has got a digital shop therefore photography isn 't strange for me ( 5 years experience). My first motivation is to work with americans in order to know them more that's why I DON'T WANT ANY SALARY . I just want someone who accepts my help and to welcome me. I?m a frank person. Thanks Guillaume PERRET Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Perret, slavery was outlawed some time ago in the USA. But, I have a nice shed on my grounds where you could live, and could use someone to maintain my studio and manage multiple photo assignments. You can even have every other leap year day off. No hard liqueur, pets or loose women. (The first thing to know when working with American's is that you have to have a sense of humor ). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
j_c38 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Why not work for you dad? Why the US? Sales or Wedding Photography? Not much difference in those professions is there? You come off as, someone with lots of expensive equipment, invite me in so I can rob you blind! If you actually had interest in photography why haven't you posted here before?

wingedrabbit Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Are you going to send a money order to your sponsor and ask him/her to cash it and send a portion to someone else? Sorry, couldn't resist. Good luck. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

davebell Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 You should try Australia, some of the best wedding photogs out there, excellent climate, nice people, good food - what more could you want? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perret_guillaume Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 LOL Bunch of jokers ... -(to Marc) Ok Marc I understand : sence of humour is necessary to deal with americans ! To live like a slave ? (lol) maybe not , but to help you in your studio is convenient for me. -(to JC) Why do not I work with my father ? Because I just come to have an argument with him ... no , to tell the truth I want to meet americans(you know it now !) and particulary american photographers( I've been impressed by US photographers websites). (To Dolly)-Maybe I'll can learn you French ! (to Tom) -To demand money ? No ! Ok I'm french ... but a french who keeps one's promise ! (To David)-Australia ? Why not ... however they aren't as much funny as you're ! To finish I have to give further information : I won't bother a long time the person who accepts me : I'm only "operational" this summer ! Thanks bunch of jokers !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fotografz Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 Okay, how do you propose going about working for someone? Details would help. Are you here already? Or would you pay your way here? Where would you stay? Who will feed you? I have many contacts with some very good photographers here, in particular a couple of pretty famous New York photographers. I could pass this information on to them. Free help in exchange for knowledge might be of interest. But you have to have some good photography already. There are a lot of talented beginners looking to break in to different areas of photography. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
perret_guillaume Posted April 26, 2007 Author Share Posted April 26, 2007 But aren't you a "very good photographer" ? Well I can Help the photographer to arrange people before photo, I CAN HELP HIM TO SHOOT , like an assistant during weddings (I have my equipment) . Obviously I'm not a profesionnal photographer but I enjoy this job (this is a passion for me)... to develop photos (my father has got Fuji Frontier 550). In other words every things around photography . I remind you of the fact I work with my father for 5 years (during holidays , week-ends...) As for my location I'm in France so I 'll fly to you (or your New York photographers). I'll cook for me and even for "my host parent" lol (do you like french food?). I just need somewhere to live and somebody to speak with me (I'm boring I know ...) . Thanks for your proposition . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ian_cooke1 Posted April 26, 2007 Share Posted April 26, 2007 First, are you legally able to work in the U.S. ?<p>It would be much easier to find any job if you were actually already in the area where you want to work (which I don't think you mentioned).<p>Photo.net is not the best place to be looking.
