Dear [insert name here],

Becoming a photographer has always interested me ever since I was a kid. I have always been interested in photography, what makes a photograph look appealing, and what makes a photograph look unappealing. I always knew that photography was something I was interested in and something that I would want to do with my life. I am always looking to improve my skills as a photographer by studying photography and looking at popular photos and dissecting what makes them so great.

Throughout high school, I have been studying Multimedia Communications. In shop I have been learning a number of important programs to the field including Camera Raw, Photoshop, and InDesign. I can demonstrate great understanding in all of those programs as well as Adobe illustrator and HMTL code. I have also been able to create layouts for brochures, flyers, web banners for this class. I have great social skills and would be able to communicate well with my co-workers as well as the clients. I also have a positive attitude and I am able to bring light to almost any situation. I would also be able to empathize with the client and what they are looking for in a photo and how they want their photos to be taken.

I look forward to the opportunity to talk to you further in person about my qualifications and schooling.

Sincerely,

James Martinelli
