Taking college community colleges courses would help. If you are interested in taking pictures of people, than you might want to consider getting into portraiture photography.

Beginning photographers can get a good start by working for companies that shoot and sell portrait photography in churches and schools. Lifetouch, PCA International, Olan Mills and others are always looking for beginning photographers. Olan Mills would be the "Cadillac" of that particular industry. Also, everything that Olan Mills does is digital. It isn't necessarily that way with other companies. But, it would be good to learn how to shoot with older cameras also, so that you would be able to do anything as the situation might demand.

You wouldn't be doing the selling for these outfits, but just taking the pictures. A salesperson would be handling the sales part of it.

I also believe that the training for any of these companies is free. Sometimes they will even fly you out to where the main office is for the training.
