The lesson here is to be straightforward and show genuine interest. It's a huge mistake to feign interest in what I do, just to get assisting work. Always try to work for photographers that shoot what you like to shoot. You'll enjoy the job more, learn things that you want to know, and connect with the person you're working for. It's a win win.
