Job: Junior Retoucher
Become Recruitment UK
17-18 Henrietta Street
London
WC2E 8QH
Dear Sir or Madam
I'm contacting you with regards to the position of junior retoucher advertised on creativepool and I have attached my C.V. as requested.
Fashion is a strong feature in my life and I see myself as a suitable candidate for this position because my skills and interests match with your requirements. Working in London and more specifically with the advertised high street fashion retailer would be a great opportunity for me to join a new team and expand my knowledge of the industry.
Working as a fulltime photographer and retoucher for Zalando in Berlin I have gained communication and teamworking skills which are key to working in a fast paced environment. I'm able to collaborate and communicate effectively with stylists, hair & make up artists, studio coordinators and models all of which help to create the best possible outcome.
I have completed internships with Roy von Elbberg and Accando Models both of which refined my digital skill set and camera handling techniques. They also inspired me to begin my own photographic journey and establish my very own style.
My interests include photography, fashion and music and I am currently developing my photo and videography portfolio. I have managed different types of shoots with several models and teams for print magazines such as Men Moments and Vangardist and last month I started to produce fashion photographs and videos in London. I have strong photoshop skills and a keen eye for high quality, contemporary images which are evident in my portfolio.
I can work well independently which allows me to generate new concepts, manage my own workflow and be as creative as possible. I am passionate about expanding my knowledge of the fashion industry and I encourage myself to learn from others, so as to improve the skills I already have.
Photography is a vital part of my life and I look forward to sharing this and discussing it with you further.
Yours Faithfully
David Schröter
