Summer: Digital Photography Assistant Available in South Bristol, Maine

Hello,

Young, smart, enthusiastic and talented burgeoning professional digital

photographer available for assistantship/apprenticeship in or around South

Bristol, Maine from June 10 - August 25th.

I am interested in learning hands-on from an established professional

photographer or artist working with digitally captured images. In particular, I

am looking to develop my skills in the areas of studio lighting, digital editing

(basic principles and Photoshop skills), diverse camera formats, technical

knowledge (of equipment such as lenses, polarizers, filters), and a general

knowledge of how a professional studio works. Portraiture, event/wedding,

advertising, nature and fine art photography are all appealing fields, though I

have stronger leanings toward fine art and nature photography.

I have had a keen interest in photography for 10 years now, and in the last year

have made the decision to bring my skills up to a professional level. I am

largely self-taught, with working knowledge of both traditional film and digital

capture and development techniques. Over the years I have developed a

substantial body of personal work, which to date has been included in two

international exhibits. I am proficient in Adobe Creative Suite 3, using

high-end digital SLR cameras, and am comfortable working in a Mac or PC environment.

In exchange for an opportunity to strengthen these skills, I will provide

dedicated and reliable assistance with any aspect of operating your studio that

you deem necessary. I don't mind grunt work, as long as it's balanced with some

hands-on opportunities to learn. My availability will be part-time and my hours

are flexible. Compensation is negotiable; if it's the right fit, I am happy to

work for free.

I can provide a resume, examples of my work, and references upon request. I look

forward to hearing from you,

Jesse
