Internship has made me think more about life after college more than college itself, but I still definitely have considered more ideas about where I'd want to be and what I'd study. I think I want to explore more about film and video since I haven't had that exposure yet. Also, because I dance, I'd enjoy possibly pursuing dance photography or some sort of dance on film. I've loved being in Little Italy, where there's always things happening, but yet it's still calm and quiet. Colleges are a little more obscure regarding locations though, so hopefully I'll be able to find one that fits that idea.

One thing I'm thankful for is how I got the opportunity to intern with a photographer. I think I was lucky since most photographers work from home and don't work everyday therefore finding someone who could give me enough hours was tricky. It's let me gain the exposure to the other tasks of a photographer which is important. I've also loved getting to meet new people and getting to drive around seeing new places and business's I would've never gotten the chance to go to.
Characteristics & qualities I've seen that I hope to develop in myself, is how professional but still personable my mentor and many other clients are. My mentor does a good job of staying professional to the business, but still creating a strong relationship with his clients. During my time of being an intern, my passions stayed the same. I still enjoy photography as much as before, and still am leaning towards a career path in photography and film. I think I've realized that corporate photography isn't a favorite path for me, but that it's still an option. Overall, internship has gotten me thinking about the details of my future, even down to what location/environment I think I'd work best.
I'm using Prezi for my presentation. I will most likely write down a few things on note cards if there's one thought that I want to make sure I talk about, but mostly I'll just have the key points in my presentation help guide me say what I what to say. There's not much I feel I can do to help prepare for questions, since the presentation is mostly all about my experience so I'll already have most of the knowledge necessarily. One new appreciation I had is for Photoshop. I was never a fan of Photoshop since I thought it would take too long to fully understand, and it wasn't worth it. But I've began to realize that there's a lot of benefits to knowing how to work Photoshop. Day to day activities were different each day, there was never a set schedule. I've been contributing by being a second set of hands to my mentor, which is always nice to have.
Communication is very important among a business. Even though my mentor works alone, he deals with clients and framers and any other important people that'll help get his job done and I've learned that it's super important to have a clear understanding of what the client is asking, and what my mentor needs in order to achieve what is asked of him.

aboutI reached out to David Harrison Photography for Internship, and luckily he agreed to take me in as an intern. I've been interested in photography/film for many years now, and am excited to experience what a photographer's work is like on a day-to-day basis. ArchivesCategories |
