Any professional Photographers here?
 

If there are, any tips on how to break-in to the biz?

Dont be an asshole on GFY and maybe people will help you.

Learn many ways of lighting.

Get a prosumer camera and shoot all you can.

yes learn lighting, and develop a unique "style" of shooting. good equip does help, but a couple thousand will get you in the game.

understand what the surfer wants, it isn't always what you want.

learn to make an average girl exciting, beautiful, interesting to look at.

have a rapport with the model---if you don't know how to talk to a girl, stroke her ego, make her feel like she is exciting, your pix will be flat---it takes more than just beauty.

truth is, the greatest shooters have an "eye" for it---and this is something that can't be learned.

Be someones bitch
 

Realistically you don't need to spend 7+ years at collage as i did. The best way to learn about glamour / nude work is to go be someone's slave ( you call it Internship in the USA ) but slave it more accurate. Find a first class professional photographer and offer to work for free. You will learn so much more than college and books.
Give it a try if you can afford the time without pay ??

What does college have to do with anything? Did you go to college to learn about glamour and nudes? Did he ask if he should attend college? Are you a guidance counselor? Am I confused here?

Start from the bottom and work your way up. Just like everything else in this world...if you don't have any connections start from the bottom. Or you could suck your dick to the top, or kiss some major ass like 70% of these GFY posters....or should I say Posers...
