The Office of University Communications is seeking to hire a student for 2023-2024 with experience in photography (shooting and editing) to cover assignments and provide campus candids to help ensure fresh photography for social media, the OWU website, etc.
Guidance on preferred shooting and editing styles will be provided, but the ideal candidate will have demonstrable proficiency in photojournalism. Camera equipment will be provided but having a camera is a plus.
Examples of assignments include:
– Covering student/campus events such as Student Involvement Office spirit events and other club activities.
– Taking photos of guest lecturers and/or awards ceremonies.
– Taking campus candids (without ties to a specific event) to show the vibrancy of OWU campus life.
– Editing photos stored in University Communications archives to weed out unusable images and tag photos with relevant information (such as names of people pictured) to improve search capabilities.
Required skills: Proficiency in photography and photo editing required (Photoshop preferred). Applicant should provide links to samples of photography and list any relevant software proficiency and relevant coursework. A “nose for news” is always helpful.
Career application: This internship is ideal for any student with a career interest in photography, photojournalism, and/or marketing.
Supervisor: Sara Stuntz, Creative Lead. Please apply online or send your resume, cover letter, and links to: University Communications at unicomm@owu.edu.
