im 15 and want to pursue my dream as a photographer?

[Selena]

I am literally in love with my camera, although it's not a professional camera & i'm only 15, i would actually like some advice for where to start in life when im about 18 or so and want to create my own business or work for somebody else. I have been taking photos since i was about 10 or 11, so i'm thinking, maybe this is something i can continue on doing for years and years, it's my hobby!

Well, good for you. If I were in your shoes, I would:

1 Study and learn different photographic techniques from books and websites
2 Save up for a professional camera
3 Follow pro photographers on Twitter/Blogs
4 Start building a portfolio, for example on Pinterest. Get followers and likes. Maybe get your own website.
5 Find a freelance photographer in your area and offer yourself as a part-time apprentice
6 Offer to take photos for your school website/magazine or for special events.
7 You can have a go at selling your photo art on deviantart.com or shutterstock.com
