• Hii , I'm still in high school and I'm in grade 10 . I love pictures of reality and I was thinking to become either a photographer or a model photographer later on . So , what courses do I take to become a photographer and what do I take if I want to become a model photographer . What do I need to know as well? And How do photographers earn money because I love taking pictures THANKS :)

• Answer:

  being a photographer, much more a model photographer is extremely difficult. Aside from the photographer skills one very import skill you will need is BUSINESS. If you wish to make a living making photographs, you need to know how to run your business. You will need to be able to network with models, other photograhers,and artists. You will only be one element in a large team of people working together. This is done through networks and business - not some facebook fan site. You are still young and have a long road ahead. Keep your eyes open for opportunities. Make sure you work hard in school. Build up some business skills and you'll likely go far. Good luck
