Ines Calloway's Wedding and Portrait Photographer resume in the Camber template

Example 1 of 2 · Camber template

Ines Calloway, Wedding and Portrait Photographer

Ines Calloway is a wedding and portrait photographer five years in, from second shooter and studio assistant at a wedding studio to lead photographer at another, and is applying for a senior photographer post with a larger studio. A studio owner hiring a lead shooter wants the season’s volume, the delivery time and proof that clients come back, so the profile puts all three in its first lines.

Why this resume works

  • The profile counts around 30 weddings a season as lead shooter, the first figure a studio owner asks a wedding photographer about.
  • The current role shows gallery delivery cut from six weeks to four, and says how, by batching culls and building a shared colour preset.
  • The second shooter role gives 50 weddings covered and a weekly retouching turnaround for three firms, the grounding behind the step up to lead.
  • The profile says half the bookings come through her own Instagram and referrals, and the Find Me list in the column links the three pages that bring them.
  • Featured In is a section the writer added under the same rose pill as the rest, naming a bridal magazine and a wedding blog that ran her work.
  • The BFA and a retouching certificate each read the award and school in bold over the years and city in brackets, with one line on what was studied.

Maya Lindqvist's Photographer resume in the Jade template

Example 2 of 2 · 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.
