Dear Sir/Madam
I am currently a second year undergraduate studying for a BA in Photography at The University of Salford.
I am extremely motivated as an undergraduate photographer and fully acknowledge the importance of real work practice and I would like to gain such experience while still under taking my degree. I have been assigned a work placement module by my university from the 1st April, concluding on the 26th April and any kind of placement within your practice, for any amount of time would be extremely beneficial and appreciated.
I feel that your work in particular could help me experience a greater understanding of the execution of a successful photo shoot, as your portfolio is very extensive and impressive.
I can offer unique approaches for a number of situations whilst considering technical solutions, which I believe are becoming increasingly important in our ever changing world. I have extensive experience in programmes such as; Abobe Photoshop, Lightroom, Premier Pro and Illustrator, reflecting my background in both graphics and media.
My previous freelance photography work has varied from private events such as weddings and parties to recording rugby matches for a local club. I have also had experience of photographing fashion models for their personal portfolio.
I have attached a link to my portfolio to date for your consideration and I would be highly appreciative of any opportunity to gain a real work experience, shadowing or assisting you.

About Me
I am a reliable, imaginative and
self-motivated person. Furthermore I’ve always been interested in developing my
photography skills to the highest standard. I have the ability to work
efficiently whilst under pressure, independently or as a member of a team. I am
very enthusiastic about photography and would like to continue discovering new
techniques and to master the methods of manipulating images whilst at
university. By taking photography at degree level I am gaining the confidence
and skills to be a successful photographer. I’ve also grown to recognise my unique individual style and
I am able to adjust well in different environments whilst shooting. My determination to expand the quality of my
working practice is exceptional as I want a career in an art which I am
incredibly passionate about.
