Hi, I was hoping to get some advice on the photo biz!
Long story short: I'm a high school student who has a talent for photography, I'm starting this year as sophomore editor and a shoo-in for editor-in-chief of the yearbook next year, I've been recommended for photojournalism internships, I've had several jobs within my school for portraits, I want to be able to work at something I love (I've already held a writing, another one of my passions) position at an independent news source).
However, now I'd really like to take my "career" in a photographic direction. How do I start?
Can anyone offer any advice on how to get started? Maybe some books, websites, or just plain wisdom? I won't pretend to be an expert on the photography business, so I'm reaching out for some help. Thanks!
