i wants to become a international level photographer
Photographer - (City withheld for privacy), California, United States
When I first started this job I worked alongside another assistant, but he didn't last long and I ultimately ended up doing both jobs on my own. I thought I deserved a higher salary but I was initially hesitant to ask for it.
