Looking for a Photography internship is as exciting as it is daunting. While you want to find someone whose work you admire and are a source of inspiration, you also look for someone you could be at least a bit compatible with. The two don’t always go hand in hand so sometimes the latter is sacrificed for the former.
For my internship I knew who I wanted immediately as my first choice. Matt Nicholson (aka Dim Horizon Studio) had inspired me for quite awhile. He and his wife Nicole run Dim Horizon together. They’re most well known for the “Bioshock Shoot” they did awhile back, but I had seen a lot of their stuff before that. We all belong to the same geek culture in Atlanta. The con-goers, the geeks, the sci-fi/fantasy fans that look into how to turn their love for the strange and interesting worlds they love into an art of their own.
The photography of Dim Horizon falls not just into the realm of geekdom, it also translates into wedding, event, figure, fine art, and even pet photography as well. Their unique style and flare for the fantastical drew me in.
I want to develop my style of shooting. I want to find things that inspire me. I want to be able to translate the images I see in my mind to something tangible that I can share with others. I believe that I can move forward with these goals, and into a style I very much enjoy, by interning with this studio.
