| "Interning
at John Harrington Photography taught me a great deal. I observed
the choices John made at shoots concerning lighting, set up, posing,
etc. Besides photography, I learned much about running a business
- invoices, billing, insuring, and how to effectively communicate
with clients. Overall, the combination of learning about photography
and business was very valuable. Even if someone is not interested
in photography, I would still recommend an internship with John if
for no reason but to learn strong, solid business skills."

| Most enjoyed | - | Least enjoyed: |
| Going on shoots with John, especially the day on Capitol Hill when I did some shooting of my own from the well of a congressional hearing. | - | Typical "office work," such as putting mini portfolios in the FedEx envelopes and emptying trash. Also, the commute on the Metro. |
|
What I learned: How
to take a studio portrait or other "straightforward" shot and make
it visually interesting. Also, how to work well with clients and
how to run a successful and profitable business.
