I wanna become a photographer.?

This is a joke-right

So your mindset is that you want to come across as an eight year old with no grammar, spelling or vocabulary skill, although you actually can perform at college level? That's a great plan for success right there, Buddy. And you want to learn photography with no effort on your part? It seems you're well on the way, since you already kno u hav to hav good lighting like in the sunlight. You're still a child, so hopefully you'll eventually outgrow some of this foolishness. In the meantime you can begin to study photography in several ways. Those dry old textbooks are really the best method for understanding the technical aspects of how exposure is formed. But there are plenty of tutorials on-line that cover that stuff, too. When you get a real camera, be sure to get one that has manual mode so you can take control of shutter speed, aperture and ISO. Also do not throw away the user's manual that will come with your camera. Otherwise you will be back on here asking how to operate your gear. Here are some good photo sites for beginners to advanced: http://www.kodak.com/ek/US/en/Home_Main/Tips_Projects_Exchange/Learn/Photo_Tips_amp_Techniques.htm http://asp.photo.free.fr/Composition/photoProgramCompClass01.shtml http://www.digital-photography-school.com/ http://photo.net/ Good luck on your quest. Do not forget to take some business courses. Many photography businesses fail for lack of business acumen. Making a living in any art is quite a chore in today's economy, and that will probably be true into the future as well. If I were you, I'd have a backup plan. Best wishes for your future.

So you live in San Jose, California but your question is asked on Y!A United Kingdom. I didn't know that Britain had annexed California. Strange stuff goes on all the time, though. Like your question. You come across as an overprivileged, lazy freeloader with the attention span of a goldfish but I won't hold that against you. Are you paying attention? I will type this only once. You should start off with an entry-level Dslr and you should read the manual. You should buy a book on basic photography and read that. You should follow the advice in the manual and the book, and take lots of photographs, gradually progressing so that you are eventually competent at using the Manual mode on your camera. You should come to realise that perfectly high quality photographs are made in the camera, not by messing about with photoshop afterwards. Sorry, missed the and like awesome bit out. Read as perfectly high quality and like awesome. Love your style by the way, but u shud cut out the apostrophes in words like don't. Cuz they make u look like u know a bit of like old fashioned punctuation. Like, sooooo uncool. Now, where was I? Oh yes, the photoshop bit. Real pros use it to the absolute minimum, so the awesome editing skills which you describe are a bit redundant. Sorry. Anyway, follow my steps towards becoming a perfectly awesome photographer and go for it. I will follow your career with great interest and anticipation.

pathetic. do some research- if this isnt a joke

i swear you just gave this question like a couple mins ago

And add another to my block list ... anyone know how big the blocklist can get get? Is there a limit? I mean, there are so many idiots out there ...

You're going to be unemployed, but not because of your spelling and grammar. No, you don't have a professional attitude, and lack any experience in business or management, and that's what is going to kill you. Look if you act professionally, and are dedicated to your cause, there is no reason why you can't become a photographer, however right now I don't see any of that.

Photographers need to be literate and be able to write up a contracts and read them. Don't make the fatal error believing that photography is something one does if one is bad at maths and languages and school in general. Put your back into your school work.

You make perfect pictures by producing pictures that satisfy the customer. To learn it go to photo classes. Two years of college course won't fit on here. That's the starter. Then you get a job as an assistant to a photographer where you learn the real business from the business end instead of in college classes.. Years later you m-i-g-h-t know enough and be good enough to start your own studio or whatever business you're looking for with reasonable chances of success. Cash comes from jobs. No jobs no cash, so don't expect a specific figure for pay. What you earn is what you earn. And you have to earn it.. Fashionable idiot-speak won't make you cool except amongst other fashionable idiots and it won't get you into any college that's worth going to. Some kids from poor families in African villages or run-down council estates in developed countries already know that. Private school pupils should be at least that intelligent or they are a total waste of the cash being spent on them..
