Assignment photography intern at the New York Daily News, New York City

Chase covered breaking news, crime scenes and feature stories during two successive summer internships at the New York Daily News. Although he was given scheduled assignments every day, his day could change totally, depending on the news. When two artists switched the American flag on the Brooklyn Bridge to a white flag in July, Chase had to go back and forth between the Brooklyn Bridge and a scheduled press conference at New York City Hall about the death of Eric Garner. Chase says the internship helped him learn about photojournalism: how to capture the way people interact, for example, which is different from travel photography — something he has been doing his whole life. “My dream job is to be a photographer for National Geographic Traveler. But whatever I am going to do, I hope it involves photography and travel.”
