Aghhhh!!! If only I still lived in VA! All of you aspiring commercial photogs out there would be crazy to pass up this opportunity!
hi, is this open to international students?
Absolutely, it is open to international students!
What if I have a full-time job and don’t really have a traditional “summer”? I own an apple and once shot a wedding with a camera. Other than that, I really just think Casey is sweet and would want to steal all of his tricks (some call them super powers).
sounds like a great opportunity, always worth applying. always anxious to learn from other professional photographers in the field. p.s. we still haven’t grabbed that coffee yet.
This sounds really interesting. Also…APERTURE ROCKS! =)
I will definitely be applying I have always loved following your work, + APERTURE ROCKS!
Your pictures are amazing! I am definitely applying for the internship. You came in and talked to my class the other day and you were great, +APERTURE ROCKS!
Exactly how is the one month internship set up? Is it a total of one month spent working, or just a 4 week internship? I ask because I need to have a 480 hour internship in order to graduate (40 hours per credit, 12 credits). Thanks!
MIke, each internship will be 4 weeks long. With working on your own project during the 4 weeks, its up to you how many hours you want to work. But, I doubt you’d be able to get 480 hours completed in 4 weeks unless you can go a month without sleep. Sorry it won’t be enough for you.
Figured as much, thanks for the response though!
Is this a student internship or can non students apply?
Mike2, its open to anyone and everyone. Thanks for checking in.
When will the chosen interns be notified?
Too good to be true… stumbling upon such a wonderful opportunity on April Fool’s Day. Nonetheless, I’ll gladly throw my name in the hat!
argh!
To bad I noticed this today, little late…
I am doing a mandatory internship at the end of my collage course this fall… If only I noticed this sooner. :\
