Create My Photographer CV

In photography, employers and clients look at the portfolio first. Your CV complements it: it says what you specialise in, who you've worked with and how you deliver.

Choose your specialism

Product, fashion, wedding, architecture, news or events photography are different skills. Lead with the area closest to the job.

Make the portfolio link visible

Link to a current, curated portfolio of a few strong pieces. Albums organised by type of work save the employer time.

Describe process and delivery

Shoot planning, lighting set-ups, retouching, colour grading and delivery times show professionalism.

What Every Photographer CV Should Include

  • Portfolio link
  • Specialisms
  • Equipment and software
  • Shoot volume and delivery times

Example Work Experience Lines

Write your experience in the same concrete, measurable way:

  • "Shot and retouched around 600 products a month in the studio for an e-commerce brand."
  • "Covered 25 weddings and corporate events a year, delivering within 10 working days."
