Resume/CV for Photographers - 06-30-2007, 04:06 PM


I've just graduated with my associate degree in Photography. I have one photograph in one juried show and one job as a photo assistant. I'm searching the internet for photographers resumes and am not really finding ones that I like. Can anyone here please share the formats which have worked well for them? I'd really like to create a sharp looking new resume. Once I have a great format, I know it will be easy for me.

Thank you!
Adria

I suggest visiting the ASMP site. They have a wide range of documents regarding photographers and their services. Their books are a must-have for good business practice.

Good resources - 07-05-2007, 03:32 AM


I'll definitely look into getting some of their books. Thank you for the resources!

I'd still love to see the formats other people use for their resume/cv for photography. I appreciate any help I can get.

Thanks!

it depends in what industry you want to get into. I have a resume on my profile (it dont look the same on paper) then I have a simple portfolio http://kgphojo.com/newsportfolio/
with thumbnails that go to a larger image with captions. I also have a PDF version that I send out with my resume both printed and on a CD http://kgphojo.com/PortfolioPDF.pdf
Also a good idea is to have a printed book of all your photos that you like so when you go in for an interview you also have stuff to show! I hope that helps... good luck
