Wildlife Photography MED-131 Internship Program
Description:
The Oceans Campus introduces to aspiring wildlife photographers and videographers (especially, but not limited to, those interested in Underwater Photography as a career) the opportunity for practical training to enhance career prospects in these challenging fields. As an intern you can expect to be part of highly motivated teams specialising in the collection, production and sale of wildlife and underwater photographic and video media. Specifically, interns will receive opportunities within various wildlife and underwater platforms to produce photographic portfolios for selected clients, specialist training in underwater and wildlife photography techniques, instruction in photographic and video post production, and career guidance into how to develop from an enthusiastic amateur level to a professional photographer who is selling their work and making a paying career out of this niche and historically closed and difficult field of work.
We conduct our projects in some of the world’s most challenging, beautiful and remote environments. The project demands significant practical responsibility from participating interns, however, the demands are well within the capabilities of most students, and whilst being challenging, is both enjoyable and exciting.
Interns will be important members of a focused and dedicated team, and partake in shoots for clients. This is an opportunity to learn hands-on how to become a successful freelance photographer, how to win clients and make sufficient income from your art to enable you to continue travelling and shooting! You will experience the frustrations, the highs and the lows, and the achievements associated with making photography your career, all of this in the challenging environment that is Africa.
