Dear Mrs. Leen,

As a driven, passionate, and accomplished photographer, I am applying for your Summer 2019
Undergraduate Intern in Washington D.C.. My in depth experience and knowledge in the art of
photography would make me a valuable asset to your company.

For years and years I have been putting my talent behind the camera to use through sports
photography of water polo games, portrait photography for senior photos, landscape photography
of rural California, and couples photography of Prom. Although my clients are nothing but
pleased with the images I create, I feel as though I am capable of more. Working for you under
such a prestigious company is where my work belongs.
I am majoring in art this upcoming year at my local junior college and I’m registering in more
photography classes in the Spring. Following the two years spent building my portfolio, I hope to
major in Art Photography at a 4-year university where I will learn even more about the best form
of art. If I am given the opportunity to intern under a talented name like yours, I promise I won’t
let you down no matter the challenge. I will help you with your every need just to get the chance
to improve not only my skills in photography but improve the company as a whole.

I would love to talk with you and am anxious to discuss my potential to contribute to your
company. You can reach me at (209) 658-9069, or email me at ​madhall@live.com​.

Sincerely,

Madeline Hall
