This paid internship offers a unique opportunity to learn what it's like to work as part of an in-house creative team supporting both B2B and DTC businesses. You'll gain hands‑on experience working in Product Photography while seeing how the work supports product development, merchandising, marketing, e‑commerce, and sales.

Working alongside our Studio Photography teams, you'll assist with studio production, lighting, equipment organization, and samples management. Beyond developing technical photography skills, you'll also gain valuable insight into how a creative department operates within a growing business.

If you're excited to learn, willing to work hard, and interested in building a career in Photography or Creative Production, we'd love to hear from you.

Throughout this internship, you'll have the opportunity to:

• Learn studio lighting techniques for product photography.
• Learn how to safely set up, break down, and maintain photography equipment.
• Assist with photographing home furnishings including rugs, pillows, and art.
• Observe how photography supports both wholesale (B2B) and direct‑to‑consumer (DTC) businesses.
• Gain exposure to e‑commerce photography standards and workflows.
• Understand the product lifecycle—from product development to photography to landing in the hands of a customer.
• Shadow photographers, producers, art directors, production assistants, and other creative professionals across multiple disciplines.
• Develop an understanding of how creative work supports larger business goals.

What You Bring

We’re looking for someone who is:

• Interested and pursuing a career in photography, interior design, e-commerce, creative production, or visual storytelling.
• Curious about how businesses operate and how creative teams contribute to business goals.
• Open to coaching, constructive feedback, and interested in learning hands‑on from a group of creative professionals.
• Seeking meaningful mentorship and professional growth.
• Positive, adaptable, and eager to help wherever needed.
