| Resume Full Time Photographer and Digital Editor Head Photographer, Digital Editor 2005-2006 Focus Portraits, Raleigh, NC • Head photographer of a large photography studio—photographed every customer that came through the door, (brides, families, babies, business people, children, models, and pets) and oversaw the work of one assistant and three interns. Did extensive digital editing work and all of the necessary ordering via Photoshop CS and NC Tricolor’s online ordering system.
