Creative Loafing Is Looking For A Summer Photography Intern

Creative Loafing-Atlanta offers highly competitive internships to active students. The internships offer students an opportunity to gain real-world experience at the Southeast’s leading alternative weekly and Georgia’s second-most widely circulated newspaper.

Most interns leave their internships with excellent portfolio additions. Creative Loafing interns are highly successful, self-motivated students and some have gone on to top graduate journalism programs, positions at other papers as well as working with Creative Loafing.

The best interns are assertive, ambitious and organized. Each candidate should have some professional work experience and must be working toward a degree. Additionally, candidates must be receiving credit for the internship. We require a minimum commitment of 8-12 hours per week.

The photography intern works with Staff Photographer Joeff Davis and shoots weekly photography assignments that are published in Creative Loafing. Along with this responsibility, the intern works to organize and compile our image archive, assists the staff photographer on location, edits photos, and helps prepare images for publication. Experience using Adobe Photoshop and digital photography equipment is required. Personal SLR photo digital equipment and newsroom experience is a plus. Must have a reliable vehicle and be available to shoot assignments on most weekends. The photography internship is for students who are serious about photography and would like to learn how to work in a professional environment. This internship is unpaid.
