How to become a professional photographer… hopefully
January 30, 2007
Well I’ve had this blog set-up for months now so I better go ahead and use it, eh? The idea behind it (currently) is to not only use the site as a portfolio (in the future anyway) but also to document my progress from happy snapper to professional photographer or is that just a better happy snapper. 
Hopefully this’ll help me, as well as anyone else foolish enough to read this, while gaining some expertise in photography and photo-manipulation.
I’ve eager pursue a more creative area. I have two avenues, should I concentrate in getting back into pencil drawing or perhaps into my new interest, photography? I’ve not drawn anything in anger since college and nothing of importance since school (ooh 14 years ago now) but I’m a far better artist than I am a photographer right now so you think I would go down the drawing route, right? Wrong. Photography has surprisingly grabbed a hold on me recently. I’ve never taken an interest in the art, never looked at a photo and thought ‘hey, that’s a really well taken picture’. It’s all changed and now love looking at photography and taking pictures myself. It’s something I feel I can progress with and perhaps take into a future career. Drawing can wait a little bit longer, I know I can draw I just need to be taught the proper technique. What I could do later is combine both photography and drawing by taking photos then reproducing them on a piece of paper. One way or the other, I certainly hope to get some enjoyment out of finding my artistic roots again.
