Dear Mr. Jack,
I was excited to learn of the photographer position available with your magazine and hope you will consider me for the position. I have eight years of experience working as a photographer for the local newspaper and would love to move into magazine work. I have a Bachelor’s Degree in Photography and tons of artistic ability.
My love of photography began early on while I was a preteen. In high school I won multiple competitions in photography and my experiences led me to major in it in college. My years of work have allowed me experience with all types of lenses and cameras and I understand how a picture can convey more meaning than words are able to.
I am highly creative and artistic and my excellent eye can be demonstrated with my work. My photographs are often featured on the newspaper’s front page and I have responded to countless story sites to capture the images for the public. I always meet deadlines and am very organized.
I would love to join your magazine as a photographer. In addition to my resume, I have enclosed a portfolio of my work. Please call me soon at 000-000-0000 to schedule an interview.
Sincerely,
Stephen Jefferson
