Youth photographers


Recommended Posts

Hello.

I just wanted to open up a discussion and youth and photography. What do you younger people who enjoy

photography see themselves doing in the future? Are there people maybe high school age here who are looking at

pursuing photography as a profession maybe after school or at a later time in life? What equipment do you buy

under a budget (if your a student and tight on cash like me)? Are there many other high school

students/university students here on photo.net? It'd be nice to have a thread here to talk about anything

pertaining to youth/students and photography

Thanks for your comments

there are a lot more photography courses now run now than ever before. i suppose it is accepted as a valid course too. traditionally, in the uk, photography degree courses had been run either by the very few and elite art colleges which would take the creme de la creme. with the onset of polytechnics coming along and eventually getting university status, a lot of these run such courses too. however, here there is little discrimination in terms of who is taken. a portfolio is what is required and perhaps a little aptitude. this does not mean there aren't talented photographers coming out of such institutions but more that the courses would still be seen as somewhat less valid. thankfully, this hardly matters as employers tend to look at portfolio than the fact that some kid has come from university of central lancashire.

I thought this was a site for adults, although sometimes some very childish discussions happen on here ?

I believe I still belong to the youngest group of photographers here in photo.net. I'm not going to write a novel

here, but Ryder, if you have any specific questions, don't hesitate to write me an e-mail. I will answer with my

best ability.

Well i'm still in high school and photography is definatly my future career. I just have a major passion for it. As far as

budget goes, if Iwant to buy a camera item I just save my money. Like right now i'm saving up for a canon 100-400

mm lens. I shot with one last year and Ilove it. I think it's perfect for my kind of wildlife photography. All I can say is

just save up money! ;)<div>00Px7w-51887584.thumb.jpg.4f041a576c2b78bdc2bb3d0e47d1c635.jpg</div>
