Thank you so much! This is incredibly useful!Here's my 2 cents:
Congrats. Getting into any top line endeavor in NYC is hard, even as an intern.
NYC and photography is OF course about the photography... except that of course you can do the work, at which point it's not really about the photography at all... it's about BUILDING YOUR NETWORK of friends, contacts, references, relationships and resources. And your body of work.
This internship is like a Harvard MBA for a photographer. Of COURSE you're going in to learn photography. But that's only like 40% of what's going on here. The rest is all about building that little black book and spidering your way into all the business aspects of things too.
Soo... with that in mind... watch your mouth and your step. A single "bad" moment can undo a reputation built with a decade of hard work. I'm not saying you should be anyone other than who you are... but do make sure that who you are doesn't cause any problems for anyone else along the way.
The fashion industry in NYC is very shrill and catty, and the more peripheral you are to it, the more shrill and catty and the less professional it gets. You don't have to fix any of that... just make sure you don't get caught up in it either!!! Have a heart, be decent to everyone... even the hopeless schlubs who you know have no absolutely no chance (as models, as MUA's, as photographers, as designers or whatever). You never know who they know or where they will end up or when you will come across them again. You don't have to mow other people down to get ahead. Building other people up will land you much farther ahead in the long run. Always be positive, constructive, proactive, productive, and contributing to shared and team success, and your own success will follow.
Now go get em ;-)
