1 Choose the right format

Depending on the type and level of photography skills you have, you might want to include them in different sections of your resume. For example, if you are applying for a job that requires photography as a core skill, such as a photojournalist, a graphic designer, or a marketing specialist, you might want to highlight your photography skills in your summary, skills, and work experience sections. You can also use a portfolio or a website link to showcase your photography projects and samples. On the other hand, if you are applying for a job that does not directly involve photography, but where it can be a useful or desirable skill, such as a teacher, a researcher, or a salesperson, you might want to mention your photography skills in your hobbies, interests, or achievements sections. You can also use a cover letter or an interview to explain how your photography skills can benefit the employer or the role.

If applying for creative positions, consider an alternate resume format like a visual portfolio site that displays your work prominently through vivid galleries, videos and client testimonials. For more corporate roles, stick to a polished traditional resume.

When it comes to your resume format, it is best to keep it simple. Although it can be difficult to truly capture your work as a photographer on your resume, there are a few resume writing best practices that you can implement. 1. Use a reverse-chronological format, which is the favorite of hiring managers because it shows off your most recent experience first. 2. Start with an eye-catching summary to really grab their attention. 3. Emphasize your achievements instead of listing a laundry list of daily duties. 4. Use actionable bullet points to really highlight impressive skills and achievements. Good luck!

2 Use keywords and metrics

To make your photography skills stand out on your resume, you need to use relevant keywords and metrics that match the job description and the industry standards. Keywords are specific terms or phrases that describe your photography skills, such as the types of photography you specialize in, the equipment and software you use, the techniques and styles you apply, and the clients and publications you have worked with. Metrics are quantifiable measures that show the impact and value of your photography skills, such as the number of projects you have completed, the awards or recognition you have received, the revenue or traffic you have generated, and the feedback or testimonials you have obtained. You can use keywords and metrics throughout your resume, especially in your summary, skills, and work experience sections, to demonstrate your proficiency and achievements in photography.

Include targeted keywords related to photography like composition, lighting techniques, Adobe Creative Suite, photo editing and relevant equipment used. Quantify your impact - followers gained, engagement rates, contest awards, publications featured in.

Even as a photographer, there are still great ways to s showcase your skills using metrics. You can also use keywords to really stand out, including showcasing the specific brands and types of equipment you have experience with. If the job description is looking for someone with experience using a digital SLR or DSLR, then make sure you highlight that front and center.
