Photographer Resume Template
For a photographer resume, we recommend Creative Editorial: Magazine-style header with a bold pink accent — built for design, media, and creative-portfolio-adjacent roles.
Why this template fits a photographer resume
A photographer resume needs to prove consistent, sellable image quality across real client shoots — Creative Editorial keeps the focus on that with a clean accent-bar section style that reads clearly to both a hiring manager and the ATS software screening for Camera/lighting technique and Photo editing software (Lightroom/Photoshop).
All 25 Rezumz templates are single-column and ATS-safe by default — this one is just the best starting point for this specific field. You can switch templates any time while editing.
What to put in the template
Order the sections as summary, work experience, skills, then education and certifications. Put your most recent and most relevant role first. Keep it to one page unless you have a long career.
Skills to fill into the skills section
Must-have: Camera/lighting technique, Photo editing software (Lightroom/Photoshop), Client direction and posing, Portfolio/style consistency, Equipment maintenance.
If you have them: Wedding/event photography specialization, Studio lighting expertise, Drone photography certification.
Example bullet points to copy the shape of
- Shot and delivered 40+ client sessions annually with a 98% client-satisfaction rate
- Built a portfolio that increased inbound booking inquiries by 60% over 2 years
- Reduced average post-production turnaround time from 2 weeks to 5 days through a streamlined editing workflow
Replace the figures with your own. The layout does the formatting, but the bullets do the convincing.
Does the template matter to an ATS?
Less than people think. Every Rezumz template is single-column with real text, so applicant tracking systems read it correctly. What matters more is that the keywords above appear in your skills and in your bullets.
