Sample Response: Associate

Given how rapidly the technology in photography and videography evolves, staying up-to-date is imperative for a professional like me. As a member of the National Association of Photoshop Professionals (NAPP), I regularly attend workshops and seminars that expose me to the latest tools and techniques.

I subscribe to multiple industry-specific blogs and newsletters such as FStoppers, NoFilmSchool, and B&H Insights. I also frequently visit Petapixel and DxOMark for gear reviews. Podcasts like "The Grid" and "Master the Workflow" are another resource for hearing about the latest trends and professional experiences.

In my role as a videographer & editor at ProMediaCo, I actively experiment with new software and tools. When DJI introduced its Mavic Pro drone, I took the initiative to introduce it into our workflow, enhancing our capabilities and client offerings.
