How do I start photography as only a hobby?

Posted by on February 14, 2010

I like taking pictures but I really want to learn Photography. Should I take courses for it? What courses should I take just to learn basic stuff for photography?

Check out your local community college for continuing ed classes or a Photography Club ;) )))

  1. Nobody you'd know

    Ask your school counselor. He or she should be able to help you get into the right classes.
    In your spare time take pictures of things that interest you. If you get good at it, it could be a very profitable hobby. Best of luck.

  2. Stupid Should Hurt

    Start out by getting a decent point & shoot and just start taking pictures of different things. Play with the settings, try different views, look for interesting things to photograph. There are several good beginner books out there to help give you pointers and ideas. Go to the library and the bookstore and flip through some until you find one you want to read. Once you get into the hobby a bit and think you will stick to it, then consider getting a more expensive camera. As far as classes, check out any local colleges in your area since many have community development classes that are free or cheap for people to take. Sometimes your local arts center will provide free or low-cost classes. You can also call some local camera stores in your area and see if there are any clubs or classes you can take part in. Local camera stores are also pretty good about helping you pick equipment and resources.

    JUST take them ask for honest and constructive criticism from others, specially art teacgers/photographers.
    You could take just a basic instructional photography class or go ask at some electronics store if they know about those free classes that show you have to use a more complex camera.

    Yes. "Intro to Photography" and Ask LOTS of questions and sit in the first row. Being timid will get you no where. Good luck.
