Photo Intern Wanted For Fall 2009 Semester

About the internship

As a Nerve photo intern, you will help with all aspects of editorial production for the online magazine: researching new talent, calling in books, editing and formatting images, organizing the archives and photo library, brainstorming future story ideas, and organizing shoots. The position is hands-on, and is a good entry to the photo editorial world.

Who we're looking for
College students and recent graduates who can work two to three full days a week in our Manhattan office. Applicants should be psyched about Nerve.com, and the subject matter we cover: sex, relationships and culture. Our original, edgy coverage of photography, film, books, TV and music receives half a million unique readers per month.

You are interested in photo editing/producing/asssiting and are plugged into the photo scene. Ideally, you're a photographer yourself and if you have web design skills its a HUGE plus. You're well rounded — you can appreciate Vice and Black Book, but you also talk about the current gallery scene and understand the reliability of main stream media and commercial photography.

Stipend
$100-300 a month (depending on time commitment) and unlimited espresso.

How to apply
Email "photo[at]nerve.com" with the following documents:

  • A cover letter describing yourself and what you would bring to Nerve’s photo department, and how a Nerve internship relates to your future goals. Please also include a link to your own photographic work, a list of your favorite photographers and name your favorite publications, photo and otherwise.
  • A resume

Please send attachments in Word or Rich Text format.

Deadlines
Nerve is now accepting applications for Fall 2009; the sooner, the better.
