What do I have to do to start in a Professional photography field?
Question by orbit_gum: What do I have to do to start in a Professional photography field?
I’m 17, and I really would like to be a professional photographer once I get out of high school. What do I need to do to start out in this field? I’ve taken a year of digital photography, and that is what sparked my love for it, but I have no idea what to do next. Any suggestions?

Answer by Nihl_of_Brae
Do you want to be a photojournalist? A fashion photographer? A portrait photographer? A nature photographer?
The best thing you can do is to master your craft. See if a local studio is looking for any photographic assistants. See if any of your local papers are looking for either staff photographers or are accepting work from free lancers.
You can also join a local camera club. You will also probably want to take some time to study film photography. The broader your experience, the greater your chances at success.
You might also want to look at either college or film school. You can make contacts there that will be very helpful as you establish yourself as a photographer.
Good luck.

Photoshop CS4: Create Smooth Bubbles
Like us on facebook! www.facebook.com Learn to create bubbles with Photoshop. I was wondering of a basic tutorial to teach from a “orb” design I was working on and a snow globe I did during the holiday seasons, and decided well since I am in a bubble all the time in Super Mario Bros I decided to create a bubble tutorial using the same techniques I use when creating orbs or snow globes. (Those type of tutorials will need narrator, longer indepth tutorials will be coming soon) I hope you enjoy the tutorial, also don’t forget to try and go farther then what the tutorial shows you, and create something really awesome and post a video response of it.

Even Worse on B l a c k M a g i c
Todays challenge on www.photochallenge.org/ was "The Photographer" which I thought was cool, could get a shot of someone taken a photo but reading further it had to be a self portrait, Ok, No problem could take one with A reflection of me distorted enough so I am not recognizable, but then read further and had to be a head shot, so Hope this doesnt give anyone nightmares, but here I am, thought i would get the shot with me by a Map since I have traveled so much
Do not expect to see many or any more shots with me in them, I am much happier behind the camera
