  I graduated from Swansea with a BA (Hons) in Photojournalism. Since leaving I have been doing some interiors for Selfridges but it was only short term. I have assisted in a studio but that was before my degree. I’m a confident driver and am more than willing to drive round London even in a van. I’m a hard worker and won’t complain about lifting equipment all day ! If your looking for someone with common sense then give me a call !

  I am a very enthusiastic and determined photographer, recently earning my Masters Degree in Artist’s Film, Video and Photography from the University College for the Creative Arts in Kent. I am looking for a position within a well-established, contemporary and exciting studio.

  My time spent as a photographer to date has included a wide range of style and content from documentary to manufactured scenes. The variety of photography I have produced has required me to enhance and evolve skills with digital and analog SLR’s, medium format cameras, portable lighting kits and colour processing including post production on photoshop. I pay particular attention to detail to ensure the execution and presentation of my work is always at a high standard.

  I am a hardworking, reliable individual who is eager to take on new challenges, learn and experiment more in the creative world.

  I’m currently studing photography at the Arts Institute Bournemouth. I would love to get as much experience on real-life photographic shoots as possible. I work part-time in a bar so I’m used to lugging about heavy boxes and working odd hours. I’m an outdoorsy type so I’d be keen to do location work but I’m equally happy to be in a busy studio.

  I’m 25 years old, I have a full, clean driving licence. I’m based in Bournemouth but getting to London would not be a problem.

  Hello,
  I’m a college leaver, aged 21, having gained a Foundation Degree in Art & Design but currently studying with the Open University for a Humanities degree. I’ve just got back from 4 months travelling through Asia from Turkey to Thailand, which has re-kindled my interest, especially in wildlife photography of which I have basic experience. I’m familiar with digital cameras and Photoshop and find that I work best in a practical environment and would be really keen to become an assistant or trainee. I’m hard working, good at time management and I’m very enthusiastic in extending my skills in both digital and film as well as knowledge base in all the different sides to photography.
  I have some work I’m happy to show and please get in touch if you are interested. I’m able to travel around Yorkshire.
  Thanks very much. Email Me

  I am a keen and enthusiastic person starting out in photography in London. I have been training myself in photography for three years and have photographed three weddings this year. I want to become a competent and successful events photographer but feel I need to learn the tricks of the trade from a professional. I believe learning as a trainee or assistant will be better for me than going back to university, as this way it seems a direct and sensible way of learning without getting into debt.

  I am currently working as an assistant manager of a thriving retail store in Greenwich and feel I am a people person. I am confident at meeting new people and thrive in sociable environments so please have a look at my pictures and take the time to contact me.

  It would be great to assist or become a trainee photographer alongside a professional.
  Thank you
  James Davey

  I am a college student in London that is looking for job as an assistant. I am eager to learn new skills and am very interested in photography. I have not worked as an assistant before but I would love to start freelancing. I am very confident and think I could cope with any task that I’m assigned to. If I don’t know how to do something I don’t go and improvise as this can cause big problems and interrupt the the smooth photo shoot. I don’t think that any job or task is not good enough for me.
