The Paul L. Schutt Underwater Photography Internship gives the selected intern the opportunity to develop their underwater photography skills while working alongside industry professionals. The intern will receive underwater photography instruction and experience primarily through participation in the Backscatter Digital Shootout, a two-week workshop full of seminars and diving, held annually in mid- to late June. Hosted by Backscatter Underwater Video and Photo, the Shootout is designed to help workshop participants take their underwater photography or videography to the next level, whether they are beginning or experienced underwater shooters. Additional internship experiences beyond the Shootout may be available to the intern and will be determined based on current Backscatter opportunities and recipient interests.
Eligibility:
Applicants must be scuba certified and have some dive experience. They must have a strong interest in photography, though underwater photography experience is not required. In addition to the internship application, applicants must submit a sample of 10-20 of their own images that represent their photography interests and style.
