Hello,
I am very interested in your project and I believe I have the right skills to carry it out successfully . First, I am living and working in Tokyo. So this fits the basic requirement of your project to source images locally. I understand that 100,000 images are required in different categories and proportions and with specific quality requirements. I am active on social media and I can use Illustrator, Photoshop and frequently use Lightroom so I understand a lot about the size and quality of images. I personally collect images about Japanese objects for artistic purposes so I am also personally interested and passionate about this project. I would like to send you the 5 images you require for this project as a sample of my work, however, freelancer.com does not allow me to attach any images to this application so feel free to contact me via chat for that.
Finally, I would like to ask further questions about the frequency of delivery of the images or if there is a specific batch of work you need to be completed per week and if what you mean by word is a Japanese character or a single word. For eample, talking about street signs, it might be hard to find 25 words in a street sign. I am currently available to work 10 hours per week, and given that I am frequently out and about and I can use my phone to refine my images, it is more than enough to gather the images you require. The 6 months length can be discussed together.
I am looking forward to working with you
Graziana
