Overview
Content Creator Intern (Photography & Videography)

Textbook Painting | Cleveland, OH | On-Site | Part-Time | For-Credit

If this sounds like you…

You love being behind a camera and want more real-world reps—not just staged shoots
You’d rather be on-site capturing something real than sitting behind a desk
You’re naturally professional: on time, prepared, and respectful in people’s homes
You’re comfortable talking to people and can help them feel natural on camera
You want your work to actually be used—not sit in a folder somewhere
You’re trying to build a real portfolio with published content

If you’re nodding along, you’ll probably fit well here.

The Opportunity
We’re looking for a Content Creator Intern to help capture photo and video content across active residential painting job sites in the Cleveland area.

This is a for-credit internship designed for someone who wants hands-on experience shooting. You’ll be documenting projects: prep, process, transformations, crews, and customers. The content you capture will be used across our website, social media, and advertising.

Your job is simple and important: show up, represent the brand well, and capture content we’re proud to use.

What You’ll Do

Travel to job sites across the Cleveland area
Capture photo and video of interior, exterior, and cabinet painting projects
Shoot before/during/after transformations, b-roll, and vertical video
Capture testimonials, team interviews, and behind-the-scenes moments
Manage and organize your media files (uploading, tagging, backing up)
Edit short-form video and photos for web and social use
Follow creative direction while adapting to real-world environments
Communicate clearly with the team before and after shoots

What You Bring

Comfort using a camera in real, on-site environments
Strong people skills—you’re easy to work with and professional
Reliability—you show up on time and follow through
Basic editing ability (Premiere, Lightroom, CapCut, Final Cut, etc.)
A genuine interest in photography, video, and content creation

Non-Negotiables

Must be currently enrolled in a college/university
Must be able to receive academic credit for the internship
Must have reliable transportation to job sites across Cleveland

Bonus (Not Required)

Prior experience with photography or videography work
Familiarity with content planning or social media

What Success Looks Like

You show up prepared and on time, every time
Customers and crews feel comfortable working with you
Communication is clear, proactive, and reliable
The content you deliver is something we’re excited to publish
If those things are true, this is a win.
