Summer: Assistant available around South Bristol, Maine

[jesse_whittle_utter]

Hello,

 

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

have I 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. I shoot with a Nikon D200 and edit with

Adobe CS3, on a 2.4GhZ MacBook Pro.

 

Over the years I have developed a substantial body of personal work, which to

date has been included in two international exhibits. I am interested in

learning hands-on from an established professional photographer, or an 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 relevant, though I have stronger leanings toward

fine art and nature photography.

 

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 am happy to provide a resume, examples of my work, and references upon

request. I look forward to hearing from you,

 

Jesse
