True professionals

They are true professionals. on this internship, I realy work with true artists behind the lens. They taught me discipline, tips with lighting, and how to photograph people in a fixed setting. Now I know what it was like to be a photographer in the real world instead of just fantasizing about it. I appreciate them!

The internship helped me plan my career

This internship showed me what it was like to be a photographer in the real world instead of just fantasizing about it. I worked with Zahrina Photography and Absolute Photography Studios. A really cool thing that I got to do was freelance for a magazine called the IndoPost. One of the pictures I shot ended up on the cover. Through this internship, I gained experience in production, running your own business, freelancing, and working in a studio. The internship helped me plan my career by showing me that I am interested in all aspects of a photography career.

The staff works extremely hard

Usually I take my photos in the field so this internship allowed me a chance to learn studio photography. They taught me discipline, tips with lighting, and how to photograph people in a fixed setting. They appreciated my knowledge of cameras and put me on timely projects. The staff works extremely hard and this was truly a professional internship.

I got to work with award winning photographers

Working at The Photography Studio in Sydney was a dream come true. They are true professionals from start to finish. Once I saw how much I could learn and the responsibilities they placed in me I asked to increase my hours and actually changed my flight so I could stay another month and a half. I got to work with award winning photographers and assisted on all aspects of their work.
