hi there,
ive been looking at improving myself and have decided to email local togs to try and get an assistants job at weekends. i am willing to work for free in the hope of learning some valueable knowledge in the art of wedding / portrait photography. i am not interested in this as a career really it would just be nice to offer this service as a gift to family and friends. this is the letter i have sent out to them, does it sound ok or can anybody think of a better way of explaining it that will get me more replies. or if there is anyone on here that can help me out please get in touch.
thanks
good morning,
this may seem like a strange request but i was wondering if you could help me. i am 27 years old and live in winsford, cheshire. i have always had an interest in photography but until recently i have never had the time or the money to do anything about it, now i have got the money to buy a professional camera & lenses etc and i have got more time learn how to use it. my main interest is in wedding and portrait shoots but i also enjoy other types of photography such as wildlife and landscapes. what i would really love to do is to learn how to use my camera whilst working as a photographers assistant and i was wondering if there was any chance of working with you at weekends (and some weekdays) if that was possible. i know that whilst working on wedding shoots and such you will not have the time to talk me through everything you are doing but i will be more than happy to carry your camera gear, hold reflectors or even just make the tea if needed as long as i can learn and in time maybe build up enough images to make a portfolio to show to family and friends i will do whatever is needed to help your day run smoothly. it is not my intention to set up a business, i am only interested in photography as a hobby at this stage so please don't think that i want to learn as much as i can and then set up my own business as this is not my intention
i am very hard working and used to working long hours and i have also got a great eye for detail.
i am willing to travel all over the north west and will work for free to gain experience if someone will give me a chance. if this is something you cannot help me with i am sorry for bothering you, but thanks for taking the time to read this email.
i look forward to hopefully hearing from you soon
yours sincerely
