About me
I have read your latest post for the job of a retoucher and am very interested. I believe that my five years of photography education and general interest in photography for longer shows my keenness and technical skills make me a strong candidate for the job.
From coming straight from university, I have had experience working as part of a team with stylists, assistants and models to strive to get the best possible outcome for our work. This also includes working to deadlines and working round complications that may happen during this process.
As part of my course, I had to learn the whole process from planning shoots, taking the photographs and retouching them afterwards. I have assisted fashion and beauty photographers in the past as well as personally working for designers shooting their look books. Therefore, I have skills in Photoshop as well as possibly assisting on other areas. I believe my recent graduating gives the up to date skills I will need.
Currently I have been working with companies such as Three Wise Monkeys and Noah Advertising to create product photography and retouching work for print advertising. This work includes skills from photography, graphic design and retouching photos and CGI elements.
In my last internship I helped write blog content as well as taking photographs for them. I helped style outfits for the blog shoots as well as helped out on other social media platforms. Once the internship finished, I continued to shoot for them as well as do product shots for their website.
I also administrate two Facebook groups, AUB Collective and The Creative Network. The first group I initially created so that at university, people could have somewhere to put casting calls when looking for other team members such as photographers, makeup artists and stylists. I then created The Creative Network for a wider audience than just people who went to the Arts University in Bournemouth. I have to administrate these pages nearly every day to make sure they are running smoothly and all together have over 10,000 members.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely
Lydia
