Yes
As said in the newbie section..
I want to get into photography and was wondering the best option really,
I start a new job in jan which will be working 4-7pm and sat, so college maybe an option but I cant find a course suitable within my area, I was thinking of trying to work as an assistant at a studio for free to increase experience and try and get a college placement in september if not sooner, then I will have got used to working hours and they may change a bit by then,
any other advice would be great :)

Thanks
 
Any plan is a good plan Kayleigh, you aims are all good, only you will know which avenue is for you as the year moves on.

Where are you at now? have you any photos you can show us?

One of the best ways to improve is to offer your shots for comment here, the mixture of replies, good and bad will feed your understanding of what makes a photo good... in doing so your work will improve.

Commenting on others, or at least thinking about what your comments may be, will also boost your understanding.

Welcome BTW. :thumbs:
 
agree with above statement.:clap:

just thought id say that to confirm what he said is right imo:shrug:
 
i have posted pics up on photobucket and a link is on the profile
at the min its goin to be a hobby to increase experience, confidence and skills to eventually work as a career, as i have big plans to set up my own gymnastics club in an industrial unit with studios above so was thinking instead of sitting thinking "i wish i took up photography" and still not get around to doing it i may aswell, and earn some money from it
at the min ive took random pics on walks, and whatever, got a basic understanding of photoshop but get annoyed when things dont work, so need to get praciticing with it again
 
I think it maybe wise to think about what you enjoy/are good at photographing, and take it from there really. Take plenty of shots, post them on here for critique, learn from the advice given and you wont go far wrong. Also might be worthwhile getting a good book like "understanding exposure" by Bryan Peterson which is an invaluable resource when you are just starting out. It has helped me alot over the last 2 years.
