I like your style,what kind of camera are you using?.

Start looking into schools now try allartschools.com and look into scholarships, there are tons out there. I suggest a school with some business and marketing emphasis since you already have a good eye/talent.You will still need technical training too as far as lighting and posing if you want to get into portrait or commercial. Learn as much as you can,find local community programs for summers until you go off to college.
Do well in high school and you will be better off when you
get into what you really want to do.

Good work dude. Just get some science, computer and college prep classes in HS. Get a Journalism or Arts major in College and then apply to NYIP. Good luck and God Bless.
