Hiya,
I'm so sorry to burden you with another 'I want to make a fortune as a photographer!!!!!!!' post, but I'm at the stage in my life (finalising A Level choices, thinking about what Uni courses and then what I want to do with my life) where I need to think seriously about what I want to do!
A little bit of useless info - My passion is horses, and I would love to spend my days photographing them in a field, though due to a lack of finances I have no horse, and can not spend my days doing that. (School can get in the way as well!) I enjoy photographing them in their natural state, but most in competition - I was at the local county show, and loved sitting by the ringside taking snaps. Likewise, at Olympia :blushing: (Shouldn't have taken any!)
I'd love to do this as a living - But how easy is it? How many people can actually make it in the Photography world? And most importantly - What A Levels would it be a good idea to take? I don't have a very good camera right now - Not quite sure what it is, but the shutter is slow and it isn't the best quality. Would it be a better idea to wait and see what I'm doing first, before jumping in and trying to find a better one?
I would be very grateful for any replies! :hail:
