About me

I am writing in response to the 'Junior Creative Artworker' position, as I am capable of this role.

I am currently working free-lance as a photographer for fashion weekly 'More Magazine.'

My experiences have given me the necessary skills to produce fashion images to a professional standard (see *) while working within a creative team of make-up artists, stylists and photographers.

I have completed an Adobe Certified, Photoshop CS5 'Professional Retoucher course' at Media Training, London (whose client list include IPC Media, BBC and EMI Therefore, I have a strong knowledge of Photoshop.

I have experience working with Pro Foto lighting and Bowens lighting both on location and in the studio.

I am skilled with both Digital and Anolog processes. I have worked with medium Format Cameras, as well as digital Hasselblad, Canon, and Nikon Digital cameras.

I would like the opportunity to work in this position, because I believe I would be a great asset to the company, as I am creatively talented; I always have lots of ideas and creative vision, styling, and producing my photo-shoots which I research in depth. I have a good eye for detail and composition. I am a good director and able to get the best out of situations and models. I am hard working, respectful and easy to work with. I have all the necessary requirements and experience listed for this role. (See C.V.)
