Become a professional photographer

Thursday, I received unit one, I have Completed Chapter 1 of 4
this is so exciting!!

Today I enrolled in the Fundamentals of Photography Course at NYIP
I am going to give this a test run to see if this is what I really want

About six months ago I started a beginning art class at a local art studio, had to drop out half-way through because my daughter became ill. I am looking forward to getting back into classes again!

today, I contacted NYIP, Boston University, Art Institute, and the community college.
I am attending a seminar At BU and getting packets from the other three.

Still learning more things,
but I discovered how much I like using film more.
Easier for me to handle, but expensive to buy film.
I wished I got a film camera first.
One day I’ll buy my own. Instead of using my cousins…

Tried to get classes for photography.
Ended up chickening out for the summer class so I could take History.

I’m only in Junior High, but I really have a passion for photography. I took some workshops during the past year, and in high school, I plan to take photography for three years. Is there anything more I can do, while not being legally allowed to have a profession?

I am setting my goal to become a professional photographer. I am enrolling in the New York Institute of Photography with the hopes of being on my way to meeting this goal. I am 45 years old, and a firm believer in “it’s never to late to live your dream!”. I am disabled and looking for a new career, and photography is one that was set as a child. I had aspirations of being a photo journalist and working for National Geographic magazine, however, my passion for horses stepped in the way I began a career in horses at a very young age. Now with my back issues I can no longer play with the ponies the way I used to, and am ready to pursue my life long love of photography as a career.

I already enjoy taking photos of nature and animals, in their natural state. I don’t like to pick flowers, but love to save their beauty in pictures. And I love catching animals in their natural state doing their animal stuff. I have some background in photography, so I’m not new to this, just want to get better and make a career out of something I love.

I had my first exhibit and I’m working on a few projects!

I just did my first wedding, and I was happy with how it turned out! I got some wonderful shots and had a ton of fun… although by the next morning I realize why many photographers make such a decent living off of this stuff :-) I had never done a whole event, so my legs and shoulders were a bit stiff, but it was sooo worth it!

My first wedding went great!! I’ve got some great shots. Since I have started my business and created a website – www.thegoodlifephoto.biz – check me out. I also become incorporated and purchased a booth at a Wedding Expo. All in all not too bad two months work I’d say. I have been promoting myself like crazy at my part time job and with friends and I am looking to get a lot of bookings shortly from the wedding expo.
