Photography Resume
Kara Mae Adamo
To Whom it May Concern,
I have been a freelance photographer for the past six years. I am well versed in the subject. I sold photographic equipment for four years and taught photography and Adobe Photoshop CS2 for two years. Having built several aspiring model’s portfolios over the years, I have developed not only an understanding of the technical aspects of photography, but also an understanding of the human form. I’m also currently studying production design in school, and so I have developed my skills in set design, color schemes, costume design and makeup design. I specialize in beach photography, artistic nudes, and old-fashioned pin-up photography. Most of my business has been through word-of-mouth, and most of those clients have returned because they felt that my service was both professional and polished. I can assure you that if you chose to work with me, you will be more than satisfied with my work.
Sincerely,
Kara Mae Adamo
