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.

This is a hybrid role:

Monday and Fridays - Work from Home or Office 8:30 am - 4:30pm

Role Responsibilities:

• Craftspeople. You have a well-practiced eye for detail & aesthetics, always looking for ways to improve the project or in this case, the Studio Space.
• Radically scrappy. You thrive in ambiguity and won’t hesitate to get exactly what you need to keep moving ahead. You can get stuff done!
• Team-players. Our secret sauce is our team dynamic; we don’t have time for egos.

1. Studio & Equipment Maintenance

• Maintain a clean and organized studio environment, ensuring all workspaces are tidy and efficient.

• Help develop and maintain shot lists to streamline production workflows.
• Contribute to concepting and planning sessions, providing creative input and logistical support.
• Locate and procure through online shopping, to ensure all necessary items are available for shoots.
• Restock stylist carts with essential tools, props, and materials to keep styling efficient.
