The fastest way to learn professional photography is to work on real shoots with people who do it every day. Our internships put you on location with our team, helping with setup, lighting, shooting, and the editing that happens afterward.
Rocky Mountain Photography was founded in Denver in 2016 and works with real estate, construction, business, and event clients, so interns see a wide range of work in a short time.
Interns assist on shoots, carry and set up gear, help light interiors and portraits, and take on photography tasks as their skills grow. You will see how a project goes from the client request to final delivery, including shot planning, on-site communication, and post-production. Expect real work, honest feedback, and a chance to add professional projects to your portfolio.
The internship form lets you choose editors, drone pilots, photographer, videographer, or other. Photography interns focus on real estate, commercial, event, and portrait work. Video interns help on set and in the edit. Drone interns learn how flights are planned around airspace and safety. Editing interns work on retouching, color, and video cuts under the guidance of our editors.
Our internships work much like a photography apprenticeship: you learn by watching, then doing, with an experienced photographer reviewing your work. Each shoot builds on the last, and feedback focuses on practical skills such as composition, lighting, consistency, and working with clients. The goal is that you leave more confident and more employable.
We offer both paid and unpaid internships. The arrangement depends on the role, the season, and your experience, and our team discusses it with each applicant. If you need a paid internship or academic credit, say so in your application so we can tell you what is available.
Students, recent graduates, and career changers who are serious about photography or video are a good fit. You do not need a large portfolio, but you should be reliable, curious, and comfortable taking direction. For experienced professionals, our Join Our Team page lists current jobs.
