What is needed to become a professional photographer? I dont mean in terms of talent, I mean like what cameras are best, or programs (I currently have Adobe), or just materials that would make your work look professional., like those things they use for lighting . Are regular digital cameras good for this? plz help, Im determined to start taking professional photos.

New York Institute of Photography has a correspondence course where instructors give assignments and evaluate work you send in.

I have not tried them myself.
Mentoring under a professional is the best way. They have advise and tips that few or no books cover. Also, pick a certain field of photography you want to focus on. Wildlife, landscape, wedding, macro, all require different attitudes, skill sets, and equipment. Don't put too much money into your setup at first, figure out what you want to do. You may find you just want to keep it a hobby, or eventually go pro.

One thing that would help, if you can, is shadowing a professional photographer in your area. I know a photographer here that started that way, and is now more successful, and in my opinion takes better quality pictures than the person she was mentored by.

Digital SLR's are the best. But go hear for more information.
