Work Placement Agreement

After not having much luck with finding any work placements via emails, I took to using Facebook as a way of reaching out to other photographers/studios. I know I have got a few photographers on my friends list so I took my draft email and sent it out in a message over Facebook. Low and behold, the first message I sent out is the one that got my placement...

Good afternoon Ian,

I would just like to make an enquiry about a possible work placement within your studio.

I'm a 2nd year photography student, studying for my degree at Salford uni. We have a brief coming up, which is due to start in the next couple of weeks and we have been asked to arrange ourselves a work placement, which will be a graded module towards my degree.

If this were to be a successful placement, I would be available to assist you three to four days a week, should you need me for that amount of time; the hours would be set by you of course. All that I would need is a written summary from you at the end of the assignment which would run for roughly six to eight weeks, again this is if you would need me for that amount of time.

I appreciate you must be very busy, I would be very grateful if you could get back to me with a decision, good or bad.

Regards,

Michael

Hi Michael, I am presently looking for some help so would be delighted to have you help out in the studio. Can I ask who recommended you contact me? Cheers, Ian'

I went to see Ian on Friday 22nd March to see about starting my placement and if it would be beneficial to us both. The meeting went very well and I've been booked in to go to the studio for a few days over the next few weeks, starting on Sunday 24th March. 

The work I will be doing in my time there will be shadowing Ian at the start but then going on to editing and possibly taking part in some shoots. As I am quite a Photoshop-aphobe, Ian has pledged some of his time to run me over the basics of what he does for his work and get me up to scratch on Photoshop and the workings of it.
