INTERNING: Nuts, Bolts to Know

Interning for a food photography studio like IMSTEPF studios exposes me to a complex layer of experience.

I am Week 8 into the practical universe of photo knowledge. It's a distant stretch being at Brookes Institute in Santa Barbara.

Let me tell you more on the topic of Photo Interning.

My four week trial period of being a photo 'INTERN' was completed by Aug 19th.

I had been providing general support throughout studio, and specifically the Broadcast Department.

My Lens shifted on September 14th as it did for the studio. The last two week period changed focus on tasks, and responsibilities.

Here's just a sample of TASKS that have been expected of me in the last 2 weeks....

Time management, prioritization, project management, research and development, shooting, pre-production, writing blogs on my experience as an intern, emails, end of day summaries loaded with details about stuff I wasn't dealing with only weeks earlier, bringing in fresh cupcakes in exchange tardines, creative round-table meetings, and staying as late as it takes to get a job done, oh, and being selected as crew member to interview new interns.

NOT, exactly, a walk in the park, while juggling pre-production on upcoming art show of my personal photo work!
