im trying to think up ideas of places to intern for photography. this is my second year in the program and i interned last year at a large photo studio for fashion and catalogue stuff. i want to kind of stray from that and get to more of the kind of stuff ill be doing in the future. im a highschool senior so most newspapers and magazines wouldnt take me. i think i know as much and am as experienced as any of them. i was thinking of going for some zine that doesnt have a photography department or for that matter photography at all and being a contributer. but not too much good stuff is located in toronto. my last restort is working for a freelance guy. any creative ideas for placesments?

What kind of photographer do you want be?
I work for a famous and successful photojournalist, and he started taking pictures at 15 for the school paper and worked in local newspapers -- so if your goal is to be a photojournalist, try to get an entry level or intern job at the local newspaper -- I've seen zines before and although they're cool and underground, they may not impress potential employers...although you are still in high school.

photojournalism is definately an option im interested in, but i dont want to settle down and decide just yet. i want for now a creative outlet for photography and my choice will come later. certain fields are more demanding and i can potentially get more from, like photojournalism. do advertising firms have photography departments? or do they just usually hjire freelance? i guess it depends on the firm, are there any in toronto that match this criteria or where should i look for listings
