Comments on: The Plight of the Unpaid Photo Intern (Continues). http://www.rachelhulin.com/blog/2010/07/the-plight-of-the-unpaid-photo-intern-continues.html Wed, 03 Aug 2011 17:36:08 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.2.1 By: Indira Cesarine http://www.rachelhulin.com/blog/2010/07/the-plight-of-the-unpaid-photo-intern-continues.html/comment-page-1#comment-4584 Indira Cesarine Tue, 07 Sep 2010 02:25:20 +0000 http://www.rachelhulin.com/blog/?p=3801#comment-4584 Interesting to hear all the complaints about internships. If I had the opportunity to intern when I first started I would have jumped at it, but it was impossible to get internships with established photographers when I started - especially for female photographers. I think that many interns forget the free education they are getting working with photographers - I teach my interns how to professionally retouch, how to edit using final cut pro, and many other programs they don't know when they start. Many interns surprisingly even after several years of photography school have no idea what they are doing technically or with lighting, and are getting a very valuable education working at my studio. In fact many times I thought I should charge them for the amount of teaching I do as so many are so inexperienced. I have never asked an intern to tickle a models foot, and would never ask them to do anything inappropriate. I think some of you need to wake up and realize how competitive this business is, and if you can gain valuable experience interning, then you should appreciate it not complain about it.

If you feel you are worth more/above such abuse and menial work then go out and make something of yourself. If the employer is that terrible, leave, it's not as though you will be without a paycheck next week. The unpaid internship shouldn't exist, but it does because individuals like "alex" are willing to partake. Tickling someones feet is hardly something to be bitter about.

One should have to demonstrate certain standards before being able to use unpaid interns. “A’s” behavior shows that the world of internships is populated with exploiters.
