I'm really interested in becoming a professional photographer. I would really like to go to school to learn about it. Regardless if people think I really don't need a degree. Learning about it would certainly help. Are there any schools in the Cleveland Ohio area that anyone knows about? I've tried searching on the internet but I couldn't find anything.

As a photographer myself (my parents have owned a studio for 14 plus years & I've followed in their footsteps)...there are several steps to take:
1)Take classes a college/university - technically they are helpful...be sure to take business classes as well because first and foremost this is a business.
2)Join the PPA - Professiona Photographers of America...They offer several courses and have loads of information to offer you.
3)Call around to local studio and start working at one - even if you are only an assistant - experience, experience, experience
Good LUCK!

In Ohio several of the state universities offer degrees in an area of photography. Most are in photo journalism but Ohio University offers degrees in Photography through their Art Department. They also have a Vis Com department. Go to www.ohiou.edu and see what they have. In Ohio there is also a 2 year Photography school somewhere near Dayton I believe. You can also check the community colleges like Cuyahoga Community College.

Most colleges and universities have a photography department.
Call or go to the schools in your city and get a catalogue of photography classes.
