In case you weren't aware I have now been a photography intern for over month now. It's been a slow learning curve but I feel like I've come a long way. I would like to share my wisdom. So without further ado, here are Shell's 12 tips for being a fantastic intern (in no particular order):
1) Learn how to make coffee and memories the boss's coffee order.
2) Learn how to iron and use a steamer, you will be using them a lot.
3) Always have pins, safety pins, sticky tape, sissors and blue rack readily available, if not on your person at all times.
4) Always remember to put your phone on silent.
5) Remember: "Early is on time, on time is late and late is fired"!
6) Always put something back in the place you got it from!
7) Remember to eat and stay hydrated!
8) If you don't know what to do ask the person in charge 'how can I help?'.
9) There is never nothing to do. If you feel like everything that needs to be done, is done then clean something (then you'll look super efficient).
10) Always wear pants with pockets (even better wear a belt with carabiners)
11) Know where the pens, paper and sewing kit are.
12) Get everyone to sign the release form as first priority, before production starts!
There will be many more things that i will learn along the way but here is just what i have learnt so far :)
