I think my experience as a photographer would help immensely as I've learned how to use DSLR's to their full capacity, and have honed my craft at editing and color-grading using Adobe software as well. My years I've spent in customer and food service should also help, as I'm used to working in a fast-paced environment, and great at juggling multiple tasks at once. I've been eager to have a full-time photography position for awhile; It's been a passion of mine for years and something I've dedicated a lot of energy into. I'm excited to put those skills to use in a job and to serve other people. Cover Letter Dear Recruiting Manager(s) at Aggressive Expression, My name is Adrian Newell, and I’m excited to be applying for the Photographer Internship at your company. I found this opening on Glassdoor, and I believe my skills and experience could make me a great for this role. I have been a photographer for about 8 years; as such, I have plenty of experience in the field and know my way around digital cameras like the back of my hand. While I would consider myself pretty creative, I've taken plenty of time to master the basics of photography: composition, lighting, and focus. I'm also adept at the industry standard software for image manipulation, Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom. I'm able to color-correct (and color-grade), retouch, and transform images with immense flexibility- which I've done for other people, as well as personal projects. Additionally, I'm highly experienced in customer service and proficient at working as part of a team. My attached resume details my experience, education and skills, and my portfolio is at anewevisual.myportfolio.com . I look forward to hearing from you soon! Sincerely, Adrian Newell MeetA headline I’m a photographer (8 years) and college student born and raised in Houston,Texas! I’m experienced with photography in general, but am eager to get more into portrait/automotive shots. I love the editing and color-grading process just as much, I'm adept at both Adobe Photoshop and Lightroom - and VSCO for when I'm editing on my phone. :) Instagram: @adrian.newell.photo Glassdoor: why are you a good fit for this job?
