Question: Do I have the makings of a professional photographer!?
I am by no means a pro, ive just started shooting recently with my d80 and my amateurism shows, I was curious if anyone with some talent out there thinks I may have the makings of a good photographer!?

I must say!.!.!. I was a little nervous to click on the link when you said that your amateurism shows!. I really like what I see!. I definately think you could make it as a professional photographer!. Keep practicing, take as many photo classes as you can, join photography clubs, read about it!.!.!. I really think you can make it!. You have good style!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

I definitely think you have the potential to become a professional photographer, although my only criticism is to get rid of the "fake polaroid" style!. It seems a bit amateur!. Other than that, my suggestions would be to buy a domain (www!.yourname!.com type of thing) to host your artist portfolio, and look into art schools!.

Some good art schools in North America are!.!.!.

Emily Carr
Vancouver, BC

Otis College of Art and Design
Los Angeles, CA

Parson (The New School)
New York City, New York
