How can i become a professional photographer?

Media, and Spanish are of little use. If you must choose a language, French is probably the most applicable as France has always been centre of art, followed by Italy the centre of design. You will also benefit from learning stuff like economics, law and history and history of art. Economics, law and history informs you about how the business world works. History of art is an obvious choice as it teaches you methods of inspiration. Long run goal should be a degree from a Russell Group university in Economics, Law, or Engineering with business (i.e. a BEng or MEng degree from Imperial College, Oxford or Warwick). If you're wondering why artistic skills aren't so important, it's because if you're good enough to go to a top university you'll be able to do anything. However just because you're a talent artist, doesn't mean you can manage a good business.

you become a professional photographer when you start making money out of your photography. how you make that money or more appropriately who pays you for your photography is an entirely different story depending on your skills, kit, and above all experience.

Go to a PhotographyCollege.

You become pro when ppl pays you but before getting paid you need to know all the settings of photography and be skilled in ISO APERTURE AND SHUTTHER SPEED let says that you are in a dark room to take pictures you need to be prepare with the right equipment once you leave the room to shoot outdoors you need to change the settings right away,when you turn to shoot one more you need to change the settings and so forth time and practice make you professional takes time but the more you know and shoot the more professional you are there is no limit in photography i am pro 12 years and still learning i am fashion/wedding/portrait/landscape/archi... pro and i never tried underwater wild and some many more so it means if i am pro i still need to learn

Ask your art teacher about a 'Light and lens based media' GCSE. I I'm currently in the exam process of that GCSE - could be your first step toward being a pro, and you should pick plenty of ideas and techniques up on the way(:

Studying gets you know where, to become a professional photographer you simply keep taking pictures, market yourself and then use business skills to get a business going. Personally I would definitely scrap Spanish and get onto Business Studies and try and change Geography to IT because Having, Art, Media, IT and Business Studies really involve the skills for having a successful business. I was in the same boat as you (I'm 17 now) and chose Media, Business Studies, and History and failed History unfortunately but Media and Business taught me alot, Media taught me about demographics and marketing the product and Business shown me finances and the backbone of business. Do you live in the UK then if so I assume it's BTEC Media first diploma, and as a heads up, don't do BTEC photography if you go to college because it's exactly the same as doing an art course and it won't really teach you anything you can't learn from a book also it's alot more work. I'd go onto a Business course, Media course or maybe another course just for backup in case you don't hit it off as a photographer :)

I dont think anyone understands ur last detail you probably already know to have to study and learn like everyone else does ..do you mean a studio... or magazine.. that last line is weird..

"famous or well known professional photographer" & "i dont want to be a freelance photographer" I think all famous and well known pro photographers are self employed. I don't even think armed forces or hospital photographers get a picture credit when their photos are used. The armed forces photos all come out as copyright MOD at least.

pick photography and ict as well
