Photography Internship in Traverse City, MI

Internship

If you’re interested in applying for my 2012 internship please review the information below.

Every wedding season I offer a six month internship based in Traverse City, Michigan. Your primary role as an intern will be to assist me during weddings. You will build a portfolio of photos from your time with me and, like any internship, learn the techniques and skills in different areas of photography including: weddings; senior portraits; engagements; and family portraits. You will also learn about many “behind the scenes” aspects of photography including post production, album design, work flow, client presentations, advertising, and marketing. This is a paid internship ($150 per wedding + $10/HR for post-production work), meals are covered by me while on the road and you can receive college credit as well.

Here are some requirements in order to apply for this internship:

1. This position is not for a “photographer”, it’s for a visual storyteller.
2. Each applicant must show in their portfolio how they’ve documented 2-3 events or weddings. Please do not send me a Flickr Photostream or a random Facebook album. I’m looking for a collection of your images that highlight your work.
3. Each applicant must own a DSLR camera and be proficient in its use. Canon 5D Mark II or better is required. If you have a Canon DSLR you will have a selection of lenses you will be able to use.
4. During this six month internship the applicant must be available on all Fridays, Saturdays and some Sundays, May through October.
5. The internship allows flexibility to learning “behind the scene” post processing.
6. Each applicant must have a valid driver’s license.
7. Each applicant must show in their portfolio how they’ve documented 2-3 events or weddings.

Please submit a cover letter explaining your interest in this position, a summary of your experience with your resume and URL to an online portfolio before March 31, 2012. I look forward to hearing from you!
