OBJECTIVE

I am looking for a new photography related challenge and would like to

apply for the Photography Assistant position at Harris Solutions Group. I

came across this listing on the Get Photography Jobs website.

For the last year, I have been working as part of a team, providing quality

portraits of children and their families. Documenting the changes that

have occurred since the last time they had their portraits done. In

addition to photography and sales of the portraits taken, I have headed up

the marketing team. This involves reaching out into the community in order

to drive business into the studio. Driving business into our studio is

accomplished by partnering with our business with a similar target market

and cross promoting their business as they promote ours. I also ensured

that telemarketing of our customer base was done. By tracking our customer

base we help them capture all of the important landmarks of their young

children.

At this time, I am ready for a new photographic challenge and believe that

I will be a great asset for your company.

SUMMARY

During the past ten years I have been very active photographically. I have

been an integral part of a team that has documented pictorially the

happenings of the Cedar Rapids JAYCEEs. The pictures taken cover the

various community projects run throughout the year. These pictutes are used

to convey the scope and breadth of the community service that they

accomplish each year. Some of the pictures have been used to help market

Uptown Friday Nights (www.uptownfridaynights.com.)

During these years, I have been very active in the live music nightlife.

This interest has evolved into the creation of the website,

crentertainmentatlarge.com. This is a joint venture that works to promote

the music community through photography. This website garnered over two

million hits last year and is on pace for four million hits this year.

All of my photograhic enhancement is carried out utilizing the Macintosh

platform. Below is a list of the programs that I currently use.

Adobe Photoshop; Picture Project; Nikon Editor; Nikon Capture; Nikon View;

Microsoft Office; All Thumbs; Web

Album Generator; Adobe Golive;

I believe that those websites demonstrate my photographic talents and I

look forward to utilizing my talent as part of your team.

MAJOR ACCOMPLISHMENTS

Becomming a member of the Witwer Center Board of Directors is my greatest

accomplishment. I am in the process of developing a website for the Witwer

Center, that will facilitate the marketing of the products and services

that they have to offer.

My involvement with the Cedar Rapids JAYCEES has been my most rewarding

association. Working on the various projects throughout the years helped me

to become a Board member of the Witwer Center.
