Interns receive instruction and supervised experience while being exposed to a variety of projects and materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">The LaChapelle Studio Experience<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Depending on current projects, interns may gain experience in:<\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li>Photographic archive management, cataloging, and organization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Fine art print handling, storage, and care<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Digital and physical asset organization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Prop room management, inventory, and organization<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photoshoot preparation and production workflows<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Special studio and creative projects<\/li>\n\n\n\n<li>Photoshoot involvement in various departments including production, art, casting, etc.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Educational Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our program combines instruction, observation, and supervised hands-on experience. Studio staff provide guidance and context so interns learn not only how something is done, but how it fits into the larger creative, archival, or production process.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our goal for prospective interns is to develop practical skills, understand professional studio practices, and explore areas of the creative industry that may inform their future studies and careers.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Internship Structure<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This is an unpaid educational internship running from October through December 2026, requiring participation two days per week. Specific days can be coordinated around the intern\u2019s academic schedule and studio availability.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We are happy to work with students seeking academic credit and to coordinate with colleges or universities regarding internship requirements, learning objectives, or evaluations.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Interns receive a $15 lunch allowance for each scheduled internship day.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Who We\u2019re Looking For<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">This internship may be particularly relevant to students studying photography, fine art, film, production, art history, archival studies, arts administration, design, or related fields.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We\u2019re looking for individuals who are curious, organized, dependable, attentive to detail, and eager to learn. Previous professional studio experience is not required.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\">Why Intern for David LaChapelle Studio?<\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Our studio is a dynamic and multidisciplinary creative environment, where projects and<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">day-to-day activities are constantly evolving. An intern might spend one day learning about a photographic archive or handling fine art prints, and another preparing for a production, organizing the prop collection, or participating in a professional photoshoot.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Rather than limiting interns to a single function, our program provides exposure to the many interconnected elements of a working photography and fine art studio, and allows interns to discover the areas that interest them the most.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong><em>If you are interested in applying, please send your resume to:<\/em><\/strong> <a href=\"mailto:intern.lachapelle@gmail.com\"><strong><em>intern.lachapelle@gmail.com<\/em><\/strong><\/a><strong><em><\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Location: Los Angeles, CA Program Dates: October &#8211; December 2026 Schedule: 2 days per week Internship Type: Unpaid\/Academic Credit where Applicable Benefit: $15 lunch allowance &hellip; <\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":16,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[3],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-8736","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","hentry","category-students"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8736","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/users\/16"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcomments&post=8736"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8736\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8737,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8736\/revisions\/8737"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fmedia&parent=8736"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Fcategories&post=8736"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/jobs.art.ucla.edu\/index.php?rest_route=%2Fwp%2Fv2%2Ftags&post=8736"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
