A week in the life of a photography intern

The photography team at Flabbergasted is all about creativity, perfect timing and, of course, that one shot that says it all. 📸 But what are you actually going to do as a photography intern? Read on and maybe you'll be behind the camera with us soon, ready to capture magic! 🚀

Every week, we start with a short but powerful team meeting: the stand-up! ☕️ Here we discuss current projects, who is in the office when and which shoots are planned in the studio. This way, everyone stays involved and we can work together as a team for the best result.

Is a portrait shoot planned that day? Then, after that delicious cup of coffee, we start packing the equipment: cameras, lenses, stands, lighting setup and, of course, extra batteries and memory cards. Everything is carefully packed, it's check, check, double check!

When you arrive on location, you immediately roll up your sleeves to build the mobile photo studio. The background roll rolls out, lights are strategically placed and the camera is perfectly adjusted. But before the shoot starts, there is an important task for you as an intern: test the light! 😛 Time to bring out your inner model and shine in front of the camera. A fun and educational way to see how lighting influences the end result!

During the shoot, you are the photographer's right hand, so indispensable! 💪 You hold the reflection screen, slide light sources and make sure everything runs smoothly. Meanwhile, the images appear directly on the laptop, so that the customer can immediately choose their favorites.

The rest of the week? It can be filled with even more cool shoots! 📸 But you also dive into post-processing - the phase where you really discover how light, composition and editing come together to create that one perfect picture. From color corrections to fine-tuning details.

Before we end the week, we'll look back together: what went well and what can we improve? Then we look ahead to the next shoot. Every day is a new opportunity to learn and grow as a photographer! 🤗
