About me

Dear Sir/Madam,

My name is Simon Lesley and I'm a very recently graduated third year BA Honours Photography Student at Nottingham Trent University. The reason why I am emailing you is to enquire about your photo editor vacancy, as I have literally just graduated with a degree in Photography and would relish the opportunity to work for a company such as yourselves.

I believe that I will gain valuable skills and knowledge by working alongside you and that I can also contribute my own skills in a way that you will also benefit. Over the summer of 2011 I interned at the World Photography Organization as a PR/Admin intern, as well as interning as a studio technician at Lumiere London and an assistant to reknowned fashion photographer Carlos Lumiere. This means I have I already have experience in a professional photographic enviornment. When assisting Carlos Lumiere for 6 months I retouched a lot of his work, which can be seen on his website *, which can be seen here: *

During this internship, I learnt a sufficient amount of retouching skills and helped assist on shoots as well as retouch/produce lookbooks within tight deadlines. I have advanced knowledge in Adobe Photoshop and using DSLRs, as well as knowledge in the use of software such as CaptureOne and Phocus.

I appreciate you taking the time to read this email and looking forward to hearing back from you! My online portfolio can be viewed at my website: *.

Regards,

Simon
