The Guardian Kings Place 90 York Way London, N1 9GU Hello,
I am writing to apply for work experience at your company. In mind of the competition of the industry I am hoping to work in, I would like to request a review of my work enclosed in my sample pack that includes my Curriculum Vitae. As is evidenced in my CV, I have continued to develop my interest and experience with industry-standard equipment in a BA Photography Honours Degree. I feel confident in my knowledge of the use of medium format cameras as well as handling of film and digital files. I have recently been introduced to Capture One, which is an example of the importance of being aware of what the industry now demands of some of its photographers. I feel it is important in my practice to also be aware of the visual demand for the strong film aesthetic seen particularly in fashion and editorial work. As a result, a lot of my work has explored the creative possibilities of 35mm and 120 film. Having already worked in largely people-orientated workplaces and self-led projects, I am excited about managing the responsibilities of organizing & planning a shoot for future clientele. I have sourced locations and studios from region wide locations to London studios, which require a good telecommunications manner in order to make the bookings. My strengths are in my personal and professional consultative approach, which has resulted in successful achievements in my photographic work. Both my technical skills and communication skills demonstrate a highly competent and organized work ethic with key necessary skills suited for today’s workplace. I feel confident that I could fit in with the team and be relied upon to complete tasks that use initiative, resourcefulness and creativity. I would like to reiterate my keenest interest for working in the industry. Work experience would provide me with the best opportunity to shadow key practitioners and to have the unique opportunity to gain feedback on what I need to develop and change in my own creative practice. I am open to discussing possible openings that the company may feel is suitable for a degree student. Any experience offered would be warmly received and I would grateful if you would keep my CV on file for future opportunities Kindest Regards,
