GBH Photo Archivist Internship – Summer 2023

Posted March 2, 2023

JOB OVERVIEW

GBH’s ability to create and publish efficiently and effectively requires smart management of photo assets from the start, in a centralized yet tailored photo management system. Currently, every department at GBH has their own bespoke process for taking, licensing, tracking and storing photos. They exist in “archives” across a multitude of devices and spaces, all of which are difficult to search, track and centralize.   GBH’s Creative Department is currently developing and implementing a new photo management system that will create much needed centralization and efficiencies, and the Photo Archivist Intern will play a central role in populating that system.

RESPONSIBILITIES 

The Photo Archivist Intern will work closely with The Director of Photography to gather, edit and curate existing photo assets via a set of guidelines and naming and organizing conventions.  In addition, if desired, the Intern will have periodic opportunities to photograph for the organization with a focus stock imagery of the local area and internal events. This is not a photojournalism role, and the focus is primarily organizing, editing and archiving.

SKILLSET

  •  Strong organizational skills. This person should have a passion for organizing visual assets.
  • Proficiency in photo management and editing software Adobe Lightroom and Adobe Photoshop including basic image editing (cropping, toning), file organization and storage, and metadata best practices.
  • Additionally, experience photographing in a range of settings including public spaces is a plus but not required given the emphasis on archiving.
  • Ability to work on-site in Brighton one day (8 hours) a week.

JOB-STATUS

Paid Internship $17/hour (Part-time)
