Creative CV.

What is a Creative CV and how is it different to a regular CV?

A creative CV is often designed to showcase your specific skills within the creative industries. Allowing you the opportunity to demonstrate skills for a job role which requires elements of art, design, animation, VX/FX, production, or technology. A creative CV differs from a normal/regular CV as it allows the person to input their own creativity and artistic style into their CV, this is usually through the use of graphs, charts, bold colour schemes, or other design elements that might be used as an attempt to catch the attention of the reader of your CV. However, other forms of creative CVs – depending on the type of job you are applying for – may be presented ad an online presentation or a video format.

The photographic work of Katy-Rose Cummings focuses on documenting scenes of emotion, movement, performance, colour, and lighting to emphasize the atmospheres she captures within her photographs, often focusing the angles of her compositions as though looking at both the venue and performances from the audience and performer’s perspectives through close-ups and wide shots.
