Dear Miss Hamilton,

Ref: Assistant Photographer suehamiltonphotography.co/ (01/05/13)

I would like to apply for the above post and enclose my C.V for your consideration.

As you will see I have had experience in both wedding and studio photography as an assistant before during my work experience in 2010. I was responsible to taking additional photographs to help out the photographer and do editing. I am also studying photography as part of my media BTEC at college. I own a DSLR camera and an external flash gun which is a benefit to work with.

My work experience has helped me to develop people skills, organisation, team working and punctuality skills that are all required for the job advertised.

I am motivated, creative and friendly. I am also able to work quickly and calmly in fast paced, stressful situations.

Please do not hesitate to contact me should you require any further information. I am available to interview at most times.

I hope to hear from you soon regarding an interview.

Yours sincerely
Emily Watts.
