Hello all!
I am after a bit of guidance and advice please.
I have been "playing around" with photography for the last 18 months almost. When I bought my camera it was intended to be a hobby but I have been well and truly sucked in.
I decided quite early on last year that I wanted to tray and make a living from this amazing hobby.
I am now currently doing a level 3 in Photography with the hope I can one day earn a living from photography. We are doing a Studio unit at the moment which I'm enjoying more than I thought I would.
I currently work as a sign maker/designer which I've been doing for the past 10 years.
My interests are motorsport/automotive or sport photography in general and also food photography. Although I haven't had a chance to practice either much, especially motorsport. I don't mind wedding photography that much either. Although I understand it can be quite a headache.
My question is how do I get started? Where do I get the real life experience? How do I make the jump from sign maker to professional photographer?
Should I put my name out to other photographers out there/ on here to tag along as a second shooter or even just to watch and learn? Should I join clubs? I really don't know where to start and a little push in the right direction would be much appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
