Competition for positions in the photographic industry is strong, so a well-presented resume is crucial when looking to secure a job. Potential employers get their first impression of a candidate from a resume, making the document a chance to present your skills and experience in the best light.
Photographers are often judged by their portfolios, so include a website or social media handle if it provides examples of your best work. Although a degree is not required, if you have formal photographic training or experience as a photographer through an internship or volunteer position, this can demonstrate to recruiters that you understand the equipment and technical skills required to become a good photographer.
The entry-level photography resume sample below will help you capture all the important details to present yourself as the ideal employee.
