Sports Photography Internships?

->> I am potentially interested in a summer 2010 internship gearing toward sports photography. I figured you all would be the people to ask since many of you may have prior experience with internship programs that may lean toward this side of the business.

Do you have any recommendations for me? Thanks for your time!

->> Jamey- Getty Images has had some terrific summer interns lately. SportsShooter.com member Jared Wickerham (http://www.sportsshooter.com/wick) just wrapped up an internship in their New York office a few months ago. I do not know any of the details- but you should contact Jared. He might be able to help you.

Good luck!

->> ... definitely contact Jared, but also contact Jonathan Moore, who interned at Getty Image's L.A. office during the summer of 2008.

->> Jamey- I mistakenly forgot to also mention SportsShooter.com member Jake DeGolish who has been interning at Getty Images in Los Angeles doing a real nice job shooting sports for them:

You should also contact Jake.

->> Thanks Brad. I got in touch with Jared last night. He was very helpful but apparently with Getty, there is no internship application process.

What he said is...

"it's not an advertised internship. It's really just about falling into it. They're not just looking to hire anyone or even necessarily just the person with the best portfolio. It's all about who fits in well for the position and if you're right for it, they'll find you."

That, sounds like a difficult internship to apply for (haha) which is too bad. Thats the kind of internship Im looking for. Serious sports that will help me learn with hands on experience. Oh well. Thanks for your suggestions though. I sent Jake one too just to see if he had any other ideas. I appreciate your time.
