Photography Internships in New York

Typical roles at New York photography internships

Here are a few examples of roles that our photography interns in NYC have taken on before:

• Editorial

  Photographs are hugely influential in the world of advertising. After all, who would buy a product without knowing what it looked like? Depending on the company they’re working for, interns may gain experience working with stylists, preparing sets, setting up the lighting for shoots, taking digital product stills, and retouching and uploading the images ready to be sent out.

• Fashion

  The world of fashion is very fast-paced. Fashion photography interns frequently get the chance to attend events and photoshoots. Daily, they might be responsible for assisting the production manager with various tasks such as organizing the set, tracking and preparing samples, and resizing images for the senior photographer on set.

• Marketing

  Marketing agencies are always on the lookout for passionate and creative team players who are ready to share their ideas. Marketing photography interns are often asked to take responsibility for social media marketing campaigns, collaborating with models, make-up artists, designers, and copywriters; uploading images across social media platforms, and monitoring their performance.

• Journalism

  Photojournalism is incredibly competitive, but having an internship under your belt can help you establish yourself in this field. On placement with a newspaper, you will have the chance to work with experienced journalists on real-life stories. Depending on the publication and your interests, you might be working on different visual formats, including photographs, videos, or graphics. Photojournalism interns are sometimes asked to attend/conduct interviews, search for stories on social media, and cover breaking news.
