About the Role:

The Studio is Fetch’s internal creative engine; responsible for photography, animation, videography, illustration, and branding company-wide to be based out of our Madison, WI office. From creative direction to production, our goal is to deliver a fun experience that our shoppers (and partners) love and can’t live without.

Fetch is looking for a talented and enthusiastic Photo Studio Intern to join our team. You will be working closely with the Studio team to support various aspects of the creative process, assisting with photo shoots, collaborating with experienced professionals (Art Directors, Producers, Photographers and Stylists) and gaining hands-on experience in a professional creative environment. We work in a startup atmosphere where individuals take ownership and have a significant impact on the final product.
