PAID INTERNSHIP

I am a 2008 photocom alumni and I have a photographer client who needs a lot of metadata entered in for his data asset management system. He exclusively shoots marine life. I am looking for an intern to do the data entry for him. I’d show you how we have his images organized, and then you’d go through and enter keywords and other metadata. It is tedious work, but it is low stress, easy and I can pay you $8 an hour.

For the data entry, you would work in Lightroom 2 from a Macbook Pro. Experience with Lightroom 2 is a plus, but not necessary (Lightroom is extremely intuitive). You would also have access to a Macpro that you can use for your own work when I’m not using it for mine. It is a 2.8ghz 8-core system with 10 gigabytes of ram and two 20’ cinema screens. It has CS4 Ultimate as well as Final Cut Studio 2 installed on it.

I primarily do retouching, IT for creative professionals and web design. I also shoot quite often, but rarely as a professional (building a grad school portfolio). I would be happy to give you instruction in any of my areas of expertise, and as with any internship, you will see the day-to-day operation of the business.

I do work out of a home office, so you would be coming over to an apartment (located 2 minutes from St. Eds). That might be appealing to some and less so to others. The environment will be laid back. It is similar to working in the digital lab. You have to be productive, but you can put on a movie and wear whatever you like. Also, there is a cat.

So, if you are technically minded, learn quickly, don’t have a cat allergy and are interested in what I’ve outlined here, please let me know. E-mail is preferable.
