Our photography interns work closely with our full time photographer to learn all the areas of photography. From events, corporate headshots, and marketing photography you’ll get a peak behind the curtain of a professional photographer.
Key skills you'll learn during the internship include:
- Camera Operation and Techniques: You'll gain proficiency in operating mirrorless cameras, and understand fundamental shooting techniques such as framing, composition, and exposure control.
- Lighting Mastery: Delve into the art of lighting and learn to manipulate natural and artificial light to create stunning visual effects. Whether in studio setups or outdoor environments, you'll grasp the nuances of lighting design to enhance the mood and atmosphere of your photographs.
- Image Editing and Post-Processing: Practice using editing software like Adobe Photoshop or Lightroom to enhance and retouch your photographs. From color correction to digital manipulation, you'll learn techniques to refine your images and bring your creative vision to life.
- Composition and Visual Storytelling: Explore the principles of composition and learn how to craft compelling narratives through your photographs. You'll develop an eye for detail, learn to capture decisive moments, and convey emotions and messages effectively through visual storytelling.
- Client Interaction and Collaboration: Through interactions with clients and team members, you'll hone your communication and interpersonal skills. You'll learn to understand client needs, provide creative input, and collaborate effectively to deliver exceptional results.
- Portfolio Development: With guidance from experienced photographers, you'll work on building a strong portfolio that showcases your unique style and skills. You'll receive feedback and guidance to continually refine and improve your work throughout the internship.
- Business and Marketing Basics: Gain insights into the business side of photography, including marketing strategies, branding, and client acquisition. You'll learn how to market your services effectively and establish yourself as a professional photographer in the industry.
Don’t just take it from us. Here is what one of our past interns, Alise, had to say! “My favorite part about the internship was having the opportunity to explore the different departments to see where I best fit. I find the value in knowing a little bit about every department to make me a well-rounded worker, while still being able to hone in on my specific craft. I love that BW Productions gave me that! I was able to meet very talented full time employees and freelancers that I now get to call my friends and colleagues.”
