Professional Summary

Photographer with six years across weddings, editorial and product work, the last two running a brand picture desk. I shoot on location and in the studio, light a scene from one flash or a full rig, and edit to a brief in Lightroom and Capture One. Clients get the frames on the date agreed, colour-matched across the set, and captioned so the marketing team can use them without asking.

Work History

Mar 2024 – Present

Brand Photographer

Fellside Outdoor | Bristol

  • Shoot the seasonal catalogue and the online store, around 1,400 product and lifestyle frames a season, on location in the Lake District and in the studio.
  • Run the picture desk for a marketing team of nine: the shot lists, the model and location bookings, and the licence records for every image in use.
  • Built the retouching preset library that keeps the store's 3,000 product pages to one colour standard.
  • Cut the cost of a catalogue shoot by a third by moving the studio work in-house on a rented cyclorama.

Sep 2020 – Feb 2024

Photographer

Harbourlight Studio | Bristol

  • Photographed 60 weddings and 40 corporate events a year as lead shooter, delivering an edited set of 500 or more frames within three weeks of each.
  • Shot editorial and portrait commissions for two regional magazines, 25 features over three years.
  • Trained four second shooters on the studio's lighting setups and its editing workflow.
  • Kept the studio's five-star review rating across 180 client reviews on the two booking platforms.

Jade template

Maya Lindqvist, Photographer

Maya Lindqvist is a photographer six years in, from lead shooter at a wedding and events studio to running the picture desk of an outdoor-clothing brand, and applying for a staff photographer role with a retailer. A photographer is hired on the portfolio, so the resume's job is to say how much she shoots, how fast she delivers and what she runs besides the camera, and every line here is written to answer one of those.

Why this resume works

  • The summary names the two editing tools and the two kinds of lighting in one clause each, and then makes the promise a client cares about: frames on the date agreed, colour-matched and captioned.
  • The brand role is counted, 1,400 frames a season, a team of nine served, 3,000 product pages on one colour standard, and ends on a cost cut of a third, which turns a creative job into a business result.
  • The studio role gives the volume, 60 weddings and 40 events a year with 500 frames delivered inside three weeks, and the reputation, five stars across 180 reviews, so speed and quality are both on the page.
  • Nine skills read one a line down the teal column, lighting first and drone capture last, in the words a photography job advert uses.
  • Exhibitions is a section the writer added under the same bold heading as the rest, two shows with the venue and the year, which is how a photographer shows work that was chosen rather than commissioned.
  • The degree is three lines in the column, the year in italics over the university in bold and the award with its field after a colon, so the qualification is present without taking space from the work.
