Video and Graphics made by me using Photodex's Proshow Producer and DrawPlus while learning the sofware. Photography Proofs by Glenn Stott
This video is the result of playing Photographer's Assistant on two separate occasions to my good friend, and Arial Photographer, Glenn Stott. The beautiful subject in the video is my niece, April. She kindly extends her time to Glenn when he needs to test equipment levels for various types of studio set ups for selective shoots. It's at these times that I always stand in as his assistant doing what ever is necessary to get the shot we are looking for to changing the lighting positions to introducing or altering props. He allowed me to use the proofs from these two separate shoots to produce this video while I was teaching myself Photodex's Proshow Producer software. I actually use this software now in my own small business Videos from the Heart where I create photo slide shows of peoples treasured photos.
I also took some ariel photos with him using his professional camera and zoom lens while on a short run from the Sullivan County airport in New York, to Matawan New Jersey. It was a great time.
Just another video of nature Photos with my little Cyber Shot
Photographer's Assistant for Hire
I would like to apply for the position of Photographers Assistant as advertised on Craigslist.
About me
I fell in love with photography sometime soon after the new year of 2001 when I purchased my first digital camera. It's 2015, and although I don't even remember the brand of camera that was, today I am still shooting with my 2nd digital camera purchase which is a Sony Cybershot. My photography dream is to one day have the equipment that we allow me to shoot award winning photos of wild birds, and maybe a Bangel Tiger on a wild adventure in Africa.
The more about me is that I am new to Ohio for the second time. (there is a short story about that). I am a young 52 with no children and my husband and I just arrived here in Austintown in August, and will be hopefully closing a home tomorrow.
Athough I love photography, I don't consider my self a professional photographer only because I lack the equipment, but I sure as heck act like one with that dang tourist camera. I would love the opportunity to be around photography at the professional level and quickly learn more about being a better photographer and the equipment involved.
Experience
My experience as a business owner myself, and being in the food and beverage industry most of my life I understand the importance of providing customer service at the superior level. I am certain your clients will feel comfortable in my presence. I pride myself on the fact that I never meet a stranger.
I think I would make a wonderful Photographers Assistant as well as a student in that although I don't know Adobe Photoshop for editing, I do know my way around computers, and taught myself all the softwares' necessary to creatively produce my hearts desire. I'm certain I would quickly acquire the appropriate level of skill needed to be successful in your interests.
I would love the opportunity to work part-time with a professional photographer. Please give me the opportunity to be considered a candidate for this position.
