Can I Become A Professional Photographer Without A Degree? ?
I really enjoy taking photographs, especially of still life and churches. One day I want to take pictures of naked ladies, boobies are great! Can I ever get employed by Playboy, or any other magazine? Does a person need formal training?
Go to the gates of the playboy mansion with a camera, no formal education, and rant, “boobies are great!” See what happens.
You don’t need a degree, but you need a much better reason to become a professional photographer. Best chance for professional status is to find a photographer that will teach you what it’s all about
You can become a professional anything without a degree if you are prepared to work hard and have the ability.
If you have the talent then there is no need to get a degree. Just network, land gigs and work your way up in the photography world.
You’ve got a sense of humour. Learn to use a camera and see where it goes from there.
