Ski Media Internships

I thought I would follow Mr. Imlach's lead as I try to find internships for the summer. I realize the normal period for finding this kind of job has passed but since some things fell through I figured this was worth a shot.

I am currently a student at the University of Idaho where I am studying digital media and broadcasting with a minor in mechanical engineering. I am a member of the newschoolers.com photography team. As of today I have shot eight Photos of the Day for NS. I also have experience producing videos and writing both for opinion and news.

References and resume are available on request.

My showreel can be found at: http://vimeo.com/7292566

Samples of my writing can be found in my profile.

I am looking for internships involving photography, videography, or writing in the action sports industry.

Here is some of my photography for reference.























Thank your for your time!

Yo those pics are awesome. Keep up the great work.

The link to your vimeo goes to "private" though.

What I may suggest doing is literally just e-mailing places. Sounds like that's how a lot of people get cool internships, to be honest. Or maybe walk into some places near you and see if there's someone to talk to.

Also, I'd say try to get an internship anywhere that will allow you to do photography, videography, or writing. Action sports is a tight niche, and although getting an action sports internship could be good for the future, I'd say it's more realistic just to search for companies that do general video/photo/writing/etc for non action-sports. It's still good experience.

Thanks! Many emails have been sent to a wide variety of organizations, so far no luck but thanks for the advice. Here is a working link to my showreel: https://vimeo.com/72925664
