Are you a dreamer? Do you know how to be more than a dreamer… someone who does? Where do you want to be in 5 years?
I have been a professional stills + motion photographer for over a decade, and it remains the best and hardest thing I have ever done. Give me a hand on everything from commercial location shoots, tagging and categorizing stock, shooting and editing motion clips, and possibly even do a little shooting of your own.
I travel a lot, and there is the possibility for the right candidate to experience some of the excitement of traveling on assignments. Come help and learn as you get started in your own visual career.
This is unpaid for the summer, but positions are available and interns will most certainly be at the top of the heap…. unless you’re a horrible, terrible person. :)
DATES: JUNE 2 – AUG 24 (DATES CAN BE FLEXIBLE)
Applicants must possess:
a hunger for something better
a strong visual IQ (we want to see your portfolio!)
an inquisitive mind, and positive attitude
working to advanced knowledge of Adobe PS + LR (Premier Pro + AE huge plus)
working to advanced knowledge of how to shoot photo + vid on DSLRs
ability to take direction and act quickly
“OK, GREAT. WHAT DO I GET OUT OF THIS??” — YOU
In a word… experience. Okay, two words… working knowledge. Three? A leg up.
The way a photography internship should work (and will here), is that you, the intern, work hard, and in turn, I, the photographer, impart special knowledge and real world know how that you wouldn’t get from a blog post or youtube video. You also gain access to all of my equipment… to practice, shoot tests, learn different lighting styles, etc. Some may even get to travel on assignments, or get a paying job in the end.
It’s a trade. My knowledge and experience for your time and help!
“I see no higher art than that of the canvas that is painted with light every morning, evening, and night. And I am both cursed and blessed with the insatiable hunger to capture it’s beauty.”

when people hear good music, it makes them homesick for something they have never had and never will have. ~ edgar watson howe
my friends and family might say that i’m obsessed with music. i would like to think that i’m not obsessed with anything, but i will whole-heartedly admit that if music were not a reality, i would not want to be alive.
were it not for music, we might in these days say, the Beautiful is dead. ~ benjamin disraeli
without music, life would be a mistake. ~ friedrich wilhelm nietzsche
so it always happens that i love to shoot these things that i am most passionate about, but practically, i just shoot music for fun. it’s very hard to make any substantial living shooting music. however, a few months ago, i went to an avett brothers show with a few friends, and captured some images that i really liked. they were different than any performance work i’ve done before, and i’ve been thinking of entering them in a contest or something.
i just received an email today about the pdn/ billboard summer music photo contest, and i decided it might be fun to enter a few images. but it’s very hard to edit your own work sometimes, so here’s where you, the lovely passer-by, come in…
please help!! the deadline is august 29, and i’d like to narrow these down to 3 or 4 of the best images for two of the categories, performance and spontaneous moment. it’s always better to have many sets of eyes seeing from many different perspectives, than just one. so, either email me directly (andrew@andrewslatonphoto.com), or post your comments here… please!
thanks much in advance…
the only proof he needed of the existence of God was music. ~ kurt vonnegut
a painter paints pictures on canvas. but musicians paint their pictures on silence. ~ leopold stokowski
music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life. ~ berthold auerbach
music is the language of the spirit. it opens the secret of life bringing peace, abolishing strife. ~ kahlil gibran
men profess to be lovers of music, but for the most part they give no evidence in their opinions and lives that they have heard it. ~ henry david thoreau
