Becoming a pro!

Photography sounds like a great job, which it can be, but you need the right ideas about it. I'm going to give you some steps on how to become a pro!

First, you will want to talk or interview a professional photographer. Doing this they can give you even better tips on how to strive for photography.

second, if you're in highschool and not already out of college, you will want to look into degrees that deal with photography, this way you can get help and also more tips!

third, this tip might be a little boring and out of date, but study books about photography. Yes I know what y'all are thinking “Why study books when we have the internet”. Books are still good to read simple because words get changed around after awhile. Books have the original ways.

fourth, after you are pretty sure you have what it takes, go out and practice. Dont do anything to hard, so simple things.

fifth, look at the pictures you take and see how good you do. If you like what you have done then go do it some more!

sixth, make a book of your pictures, don't put too many but dont put to less either. All it is, is a book of your pictures put together like a collage. When someone wants to see your work just get it out and show it to them.

Seventh, if you think you have had enough practice enter into contest! This can be great because if you win then your name can get out and people will know who you are.

eight, ask around places if they can show off some of your work. Sort of like an advertisement.

ninth, last but not least, make sure you copyright your work! This way NO ONE can take credit for the hard you have done! (:
