Prepare for an Internship
Understand the benefits
There’s so much to gain from interning abroad through photography. The basic benefits:
- Up to date with the field. Participating in an internship can demonstrate experience with current trends and equipment.
- Hands-on experience. Have actual experience in professional work environments and get a feel for what employers expect.
- Gain perspective and new inspiration. Interning somewhere new can impact learning from others and experiencing something new.
Things to Know
Photography internships provide hands-on experience but vary by location and program. Here are a few key things to prepare for before starting one abroad:
- Logistics. Make sure to organize everything related to your time abroad, including housing and the cost of living. Look into student or young adult deals to help save on expenses.
- A day's work. Beyond photography, expect tasks like organizing shoots, conducting outreach, or even leading workshops. Some roles may involve administrative duties, depending on the program.
- Visas and other information. If you're not a local, you'll likely need a visa, especially for extended stays. Check with your program, embassy, or airline for specific requirements.
