In My Own Words
I am currently looking for a new position in a creative environment in which I can utilize my skills as a photographer. I am a creative person with a passion for photography and graphic design with a Bachelor of Arts degree in Commercial Photography. While I do enjoy graphic design, my skill set is geared more towards photography. Furthermore, I am highly organized, detailed oriented, and have the ability to work efficiently under pressure. Samples of my photography can be viewed at www.jonlofdahl.com. Thank you.
