On Wednesday evening, Resource Magazine hosted an exclusive event at the Ramscale Studios for 30 NYC photo producers, who got to sample what some notable local chefs had to offer. The sun drenched loft space had breathtaking views of TriBeCa and Greenwich Village, but guests took in the cool evening outside on the terrace overlooking the Hudson River.

Christophe Barbier, chef and owner of Nova Catering, served up a delicious ginger cocktail, sliders, and miniature seasonal fruit tarts, pies, torte and other gourmet finger foods

David Wiesner of Monterone Catering prepared a feast of cracked black pepper tuna with sicilian caponata, Mediterranean lamb stew with couscous, grilled market vegetables, and chocolate mousse for dessert.

Goal:
Stop Assisting offers Photo Assistants and Emerging Photographers an open forum to help them get to the next stage on their career. They will be encouraged to ask questions, learn, network, and develop projects.
Stop Assisting will offer progressive sessions once a month, during a weekday evening, until the end of the year. The various meetings will answer the questions “How do I get the job, and what do I do once I get the job?” The group will provide resources and facilitate projects.

Target Audience:
Assistants who are ready to make the jump, who have the vision and skills, and are in search of resources to help them start working on their own. Emerging photographers who are caught on the seesaw between working on their own and still having to dip into assisting.
The group is open to all type of commercial photography: portrait, fashion, beauty, still life, landscape…

Tools:
Connecting people
Offering help on developing your Project (free studio space, equipment, logistics)
Meetings with key people in the field of commercial photo production (agent, art buyer, magazine editor, ..)

Requirement:
Please send us a link to your online portfolio for submission.
