Photography

What this internship is

This internship puts a camera in your hands for the work that builds an artist's image — portraits, cover art, press shots, and live events. You shoot real artists on the Done Deal Digital roster and walk away with a portfolio of work that's actually been released, not a folder of test shoots nobody will ever see.

It matters because the image is the first thing the world meets — before they press play. A cover has to stop the scroll at thumbnail size; a press shot has to make a booker take an artist seriously; an event photo has to capture a moment that's already gone. You learn to make that frame, on real stakes, for artists who are counting on it.

What you'll do

• Shoot artist portraits and press photos used for real releases, profiles, and press kits
• Create cover art and single artwork that has to read clean and striking at a phone-thumbnail size
• Cover live events and shows — capturing the moment as it happens, with no second take
• Light and direct your subjects so the shot comes back the way it was planned, not fixed in post
• Edit and deliver final selects to the standard a real release demands

What you'll learn

• Lighting and direction — how to shape a portrait and run a subject instead of just pointing a camera
• The frame that stops the scroll: composition that survives the streaming-thumbnail and feed test
• The pace and instincts of live event shooting, where the moment doesn't wait
• A real editing and delivery workflow — from raw shoot to released, published work in your portfolio

Who it's for

For someone with an eye who already shoots, wants real subjects and live events over staged practice, and is hungry to build a published body of work.
