## Description

**Role Summary**

  
We're looking for a **Production intern** to support photo shoots end-to-end, from pre-production logistics to on-set assistance to light creative direction for both **Retrofete and Seroya**,  and to help build out decks and reference materials using both traditional and AI-assisted tools. This is a great fit for someone early in their career who has a good eye, is organized, and is comfortable picking up new software quickly. This person will report and work closely with the Art Director

  
Core Responsibilities

  
**Production**  

-   Coordinate photo shoot logistics: scheduling, call sheets, location/vendor communication, talent/model coordination
-   Manage equipment lists, prop sourcing, and on-set organization
-   Handle day-of production support (set up, wrangling, timeline tracking)
-   Maintain shot lists and ensure deliverables are tracked post-shoot

**Junior Art Direction**  

-   Gather and organize mood boards and reference imagery for shoot concepts
-   Assist in building visual decks/presentations for internal review and client/stakeholder approval
-   Support the creative lead in translating concepts into shootable references
-   Maintain an organized reference/asset library

**Photography & Tools**  

-   _Comfo_rtable using standard photo editing tools (e.g., Lightroom, Photoshop, or Capture One)
-   Solid eye for composition, lighting, and visual quality — able to flag issues or curate selects
-   Proficient (or quick to learn) deck-building tools (Google Slides, Keynote, Canva, PowerPoint)
-   Working familiarity with AI tools for image generation/editing, research, and reference gathering (e.g., Midjourney, Photoshop generative fill, ChatGPT/Claude for research or drafting) . **doesn't need to be an expert, just resourceful and willing to experiment**

## Requirements

-   Currently pursuing or recently completed a degree in photography, visual arts, communications, or related field
-   Some experience assisting on photo/video shoots (school projects, freelance, internships) preferred
-   Strong organizational skills and attention to detail — production work is logistics-heavy
-   Genuine visual sensibility, can articulate why a reference image works
-   Curious and adaptable with new software/tools, including AI tools
-   Good communicator; comfortable coordinating with vendors, talent, and internal stakeholders

Nice to Have
