i got a job!

Last Friday, I interviewed with Debbie Hurst at Together Wedding Photography out of Hortonville, WI.  She decided to take me under her wing and become my mentor.  Debbie has been a photographer for over 30 years and basically taught herself everything from working a camera to editing on Photoshop.  Her work is fantastic and right up my alley.  I'll be learning the ins and outs of wedding and portrait photography along with creating album layouts.  Get paid to play with Photoshop and InDesign?  Um, yes please!

A few tips for a photography studio interview:
- Know the kind of work the photographer does
- Genuinely be interested in the photographer's work...and make sure they know it!
- Show them you appreciate the art of photography
- Don't just let them page through your portfolio...explain the process of each photo (what you liked, didn't like, etc...)
- There are many, many, many more but most importantly, BE EXCITED!  If photography is your passion, then let them see how excited you are about it!

Good Luck!
