How do I write a photographer or videographer resume summary?

Name your specialism, the kind of clients you work for and what you deliver, in two or three lines. Creative employers look at your portfolio, but the summary decides whether they open it.

Include:

• Specialism: weddings and events, commercial and product, real estate, fashion, food, corporate video, documentary, social media content.
• Clients or employers: agencies, brands, media outlets, hotels, in-house marketing teams.
• What you handle: shooting, lighting, editing, colour grading, drone, motion graphics.

Example (fictional): "Commercial photographer and videographer with six years creating product, food and hospitality content for brands and agencies in Dubai. Handles concept, shooting, lighting and post-production, delivering campaigns for web, social and print."

Example (fictional): "In-house video producer for a retail group, planning and editing around 15 short social videos a month."
