Dear Vincent Lang,
My name is Charlie and I am a food photographer based in Finsbury Park. You can see an ongoing portfolio of my works on a vegan blog that I run with my girlfriend. We visit restaurants and I shoot food on location regularly as well as cooking and shooting in our home studio. If you are interested in seeing this work then please take a look at the website: [!] or the instagram @wearelovelyjubley. I also work assisting lots of food photographers on jobs on location like in your brief. I have been sustaining myself for the past year solely off of freelance photography, video and assisting jobs. I believe I am the perfect candidate for this job.
As you can see I have previous work in this field and I am confident I can deliver what you are looking for. I also shoot and edit video so that would be covered too. Although I am vegan, I am happy to shoot any cuisine so long as I'm not preparing it, the chefs at the location would do this.
I have placed my rate at £800, but I am open to discussion. That rare would include myself and all my kit for a full day of shooting and any retouching required, all inclusive. Again, I am happy to discuss this if a full day isn't required at each location. To clear up any misconceptions, although I run the blog with my partner, you would only be hiring me.
Thank you for posting this opportunity, I look forward to discussing it further with you.
All the best,
Charlie Crosley-Thorne
