About me

Dear Sir/Madam

I am enclosing my CV in response to your advertisement for the position of Travelzoo Photo Editor, which appeared in creativepool.co.uk on 14th September 2011.

I am an experienced and skilled photographer and picture editor with a wide range of abilities and knowledge. I have a broad spectrum of work ranging from cruise ship brochures, advertising and still life to news and editorial photography. I have a keen eye for detail and a very well developed understanding of what makes a strong image.

I have excellent IT skills and in particular with Photoshop, where I edit and adjust many hundreds of images every week.

I have developed strong problem-solving and time-management strategies that help me to produce relevant, high-quality images to deadlines. My varied freelance work has developed my communication skills so that I can effectively communicate with a wide range of people, be it professional models, members of the public, business leaders, Royalty or Governmental departments. I can interpret client needs and translate them to creative ideas and remain adaptable to changing situations.

I have good management experience in my current and previous roles: As a gallery manager aboard cruise lines I working in a small close-knit team and in my current role I manage freelance photographers and the associated budgets.

I am currently studying for a Bsc Honours degree in science. This demonstrates not only my logical and analytical skills and my strength with maths and lateral thinking, but also my ability to maintain dedication, motivation and enthusiasm for a project over a long period of time. In addition, balancing full-time work with study has further honed my time-management and organisational skills. I am currently averaging 87% scores on assignments.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Yours sincerely.

Peter Cripps
