i've loved photoraphy since i was a little kid. when i was 5, i stole my aunt's camera and shot objects and used up the whole roll of film. now in high school as a senior, im taking photography classes and i want to know what i can do to become a professional photographer. what college courses i should take when in college, if i should go to photography school or not-- if so, what school, and what are my chances of being a pro, etc.
if i couldnt make it into the photography industry as a pro, i would at least become a photojournalist. i love traveling, writing, and taking pictures. what are my chances of making a good living out of this? what are my chances of being hired by a big magazine such as TIMES? how much do photojournalists make?
i heard that most photographers arent recognized until they have a pretty big portfolio, and by then they're in their 40s-50s already. is this really true?? =/
have positive and encouraging answers, please!!
