Photography, Branding & Creative Storytelling
Internship in Berlin – Work Inside a Real Media Studio
Studio Alexander Klebe works at the intersection of photography, branding, and contemporary storytelling.
The goal is not content for content’s sake, but visual clarity: portraits, campaigns, and narratives that help people and brands show up with substance.
This internship is embedded in a working studio. Real clients. Real deadlines. Real responsibility.
You won’t observe from the sidelines. You’ll contribute.
Real-World Experience. Not a Classroom.
This internship is designed for people who want to understand how creative work actually functions in the real world.
Photography is part of what we do. Branding, communication, content, and structure are just as important. You’ll work across disciplines:
-
content creation
-
social media and visual strategy
-
post-production and workflow
-
on-set support and coordination
This is not a “watch and learn” role.
It’s a do, reflect, improve environment.
Meet Your Mentor
Hi, I’m Alex. And this is not a school.
I’ve been running studios since 2004. Commercial work, editorial projects, personal portraits, brand systems. I don’t offer internships to teach basic photography skills. I offer internships to people who want to understand how creative work, business, and responsibility connect.
If you join the studio:
-
you won’t shadow permanently
-
you won’t wait for instructions all day
-
you won’t be micromanaged
You’ll be trusted. And expected to act accordingly.
What You’ll Actually Do
This is a hands-on role inside ongoing productions.
You’ll be involved in:
production preparation and planning
behind-the-scenes content for social media
Instagram and content strategy support
on-set assistance and digital operation
lighting setups, camera workflows, set design
coordination of talent and shoot logistics
How We Work
Studio days are collaborative.
Between shoots, you work independently.
That means:
• researching
• producing content
• developing ideas
• refining output
You’ll learn how photography, branding, and communication form one system.
Not in theory. In practice.
This is for you if you:
• enjoy working across disciplines
• are curious beyond the camera
• can manage your time independently
• want real responsibility
This is not for you if you:
• want a pure photography internship
• expect constant instruction
• are looking for a classroom environment
