About me

¬Dear Sir/Madam

After graduating from University with a successful degree I joined BMW and MINI as a photographer/retoucher. My job is extremely high demanding as I have to work to tight deadlines which can change on a daily basis according to demand from various departments within the company. I have been called out to photo shoots at various locations for new brand launches which can be demanding at times; however I enjoy working to tight deadlines and thrive on pressure situations. I prioritise my work and keep each team involved up to date.

Each day I photograph high end luxury cars that come onto my photo list. I will then get through each car individually and photograph them to a BMW standard and then retouch each image. I have a keen eye for detail which you need as each image will be viewed numerous times by managers and customers on the website before they make an appointment to view the car. A well retouched image is vital, it can be the difference between a sale or not.

Up until recently I was the sole photographer however due to the high volume of cars coming in to photograph I now have an assistant who I can call upon as and when the need arises. (E.g When a new registration plate is due.)

Prior to working for BMW I gained experience at a London based advertisement agency. I worked with a team of artworkers producing a range of work for a particular brief using the Adobe Suite. This included creating story boards for a Volkswagen Group Leasing advertisement which was used for promotion work and is still being used now. I worked on promotional posters for the NFL seasons (2014) that were hosted at Wembley Stadium; the posters were displayed throughout Oxford Street.

I am an honest, reliable and adaptable individual who wants to succeed in this industry. After viewing your job advertisement I feel I could learn from you and in return I will aim to give a creative input to new ideas and concepts within your company.

Thank you for taking the time in reading my application. I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.

Yours faithfully

Tom Bennett
