What are you looking for in a potential intern?
First and foremost, we are interested in working with candidates who are serious about entrepreneurship and running their own photography business. We are a very hands-on, collaborative team, who believes that the best way to learn is by actively participating in the process. We are most interested in interns who work well with others, have a positive attitude, and are proactive in their continued education of photography and entrepreneurship. Candidates will be selected based on experience, level of enthusiasm / passion for creative concepts, and how well we believe FIDAMO and the candidate will co-benefit from the partnership.
