I'm not clear about what you mean by your first question!. Do you mean "What educational requirements do you need to be able to become a photographer!?"

You can either go for a full certificate course or just attend workshops for starters and practice a lot!. There are also books and free lessons on the internet, if you go the self-study way!.
