Hello I am very interested in the position you posted for a photographer on creativepool.co.uk. I am well motivated, a keen team contributor and have experience as a sales assistant. I offer all the help I can to assure customer satisfaction and maintain a healthy and informative service. I take an enthusiastic learning approach to any new work related tasks and fulfill set responsibilities to a high standard.

I have been studying Photography for 6 years and have just completed a BA honours in Photography from Kingston University. I am fully capable of processing film and making darkroom prints. I have been working in the University studio to produce my own images so I am proficient in lighting and studio maintenance. Along side using the analog process of 120mm and 35mm film for the full duration of 6 years I am fully competent with the Adobe master collection. Over the past 3 years I been producing professional quality digital prints including my final degree show exhibition which means I fully understand the nature and process of printer colour calibration, Photoshop colour management and dpi settings. I am competent in digital and online design. My own designed website can be found @ *

I have been the photographer in all of the nightclubs in Kingston for 3 years while I was studying at Kingston University. I consider being a professional nightclub photographer and having numerous contacts and clients. My work can be found at *; several of my nightclub photos are now in Kingston's archive as a document of the night club scene in 2011. I wish my employment to shift towards another avenue of photographic work. I feel it is time for me to fully apply myself to photography in a manner, which utilizes my skills that I've have learned studying photographic process's for the past 6 years. In all honesty I feel I can contribute more in a position in your establishment than taking photographs of drunk people four nights a week.

I am very practical and dedicated towards my work, with extensive knowledge about photography. I am very particular and punctual about meeting my deadlines with utmost efficiency.

I believe I would be an ideal candidate for this position as it allows me to demonstrate a high level of speed and skill working in photographic lab or studio or location, I am efficient and creative and have a friendly and down to earth personality. My skills can be utilized in this position and also I am open and eager to learn from the team and better my photographic experience, perhaps contribute some of my own knowledge to the team.

Yours sincerely
