Who you are:

Are you excited to have your content seen on a global scale?

We are searching for an up-and-coming content creator who demonstrates a willingness to progress in their craft and capture the entertainment world through their unique lens and perspective.

The Getty Images x Canon Editorial Photography Internship Program is a paid internship opportunity taking place from July 2026 to December 2026 in Los Angeles.

Your next challenge:

Getty Images, in collaboration with Canon U. S. A. Inc., is offering a six-month in-depth internship opportunity to work alongside and learn from world leading photographers, videographers, editorial team and visual content experts. Getty Images is providing the opportunity to train on all facets of the editorial imagery business and the intern will be using a variety of Canon EOS system cameras and RF lenses for both still and video capture.

You will become an integral part of the Getty Images’ editorial team working day-to-day with industry professionals. This includes but is not limited to:

• Creating editorial content (photography and videography) from wide-ranging assignments such as red carpets, produced events and live shows

• Assigning events and client relations

• Video and field editing

• Major event production and technology

• Solo assignments as well as group assignments with editing support

You will join a team of highly collaborative and talented photographers, videographers and content creators who are comfortable working with a diverse set of tools, and willing to take initiative on their ideas. Some of the learning objectives of the Internship are as follows:

• Access, exposure to and work experience with some of the nation’s leading entertainment editorial photography professionals.

• Contact time to understand the depth of editorial photography (stills and video) between teams.

• Observe and practice live content capture, editing, production, distribution and asset management of stills and footage.

• Broaden understanding of the relationship between capture and production of content coverage of an entertainment event and the differences in distribution and licensing editorial content and paid content.

We value learning and development, and you will be given every opportunity to work on projects that excite you.

What you’ll need:

Whilst prior experience working as a content creator is not required, some experience creating photographic imagery and video content is helpful. We recognize that the barriers to entry to professional photography can be high and we are hoping to create an opportunity where eager and enthusiastic creators are seen and heard.

• We ask you are extremely comfortable working with a team of photographers and editors and take direction and feedback well.

• You must have the ability to travel domestically via Air

• You will need to be able to provide own transport and hold a valid driving license.

• You must be able to work both nights and weekends.

Nice to Have:

There is no one thing that makes an application stand out. In general, Getty Images is looking for a keen eye, passion and a variety in your portfolio that demonstrates all aspects of photography and videography. We do not expect applicants to have previous red carpet and event experience, a formal portfolio and/or college experience, but familiarity of current entertainment events and pop culture certainly helps.

Along with the application, we will be looking for

• a cover letter on what you hope to gain from the Getty Images Internship

• a link to an online portfolio/body of work or personal website

• links to Instagram and other image based social media handles.

Upon successful completion of the internship program, not only will you have real-world experience in capturing entertainment events, but you will also have a comprehensive understanding of editing, captioning and distribution. You will have professional content to use in your portfolio and will have the opportunity to continue with Getty Images as a contributing creator.

While we welcome all applicants to apply, we recognize that people of color and those with intersectional identities are underrepresented in pho
