how to make money and start a career in photography?

I’m 15 and i’m interested in a career as a photographer.How can i start out and make some money? I know i have to volunteer and everything, but how can i sell some of my stuff to other people? And can i work anywhere with pay or intern somewhere that’ll me build up a photo skills? And how do you start a portfolio? Sorry, it’s 3 questions in one
thanks

PART 1 PORTFOLIO: I highly recommend the book “Photo portfolio success,” by John Kaplan. It can definitely answer all your questions and more. I’ve read the book three times now it’s so informative. The book will tell you everything you need to know about choosing your photographs, basic placements of the photographs, etc. Pretty much anything presentation related.

Here’s some tips in case you don’t purchase the book:
1.Choose only your absolute best photographs.
2.Categorize them according to subject.
3.Your portfolio should only be one subject. Example: Nature. Then take a variety of photographs consisting of nature.

Example: You’re into portraits. It is your strongest point. Take all of your portrait pictures and choose the best. Then, categorize them according to the type of portrait they are. Take a few photographs from each category and put them into your binder. A portfolio should be minimum of 10 photographs. Most places and companies want less than 20.

You can buy a Portfolio Binder at any arts store. They range from $10-200+. (Before purchasing the binder though, you need to decide what is going into it).

Also, if you do not know which pictures to choose — only the best ones, though — ask for people’s opinions and go from there.

Also, for inspiration I would highly recommend getting a Flickr account. I find new things everyday on there!

Here’s my account to give you a feel of what it is about:

PART TWO JOB: To gain photo skills, you can get a job at a studio. However, if you are just starting out you may have better luck working at a Target Photo Studio or a Wal-Mart Studio. Check around, see who is hiring. Bring your portfolio, if your images are good enough it may land you the job even with a lack of studio experience

PART THREE: There are many ways you can sell your photographs.
Internet:
Deviantart.com – Free
iStockphoto.com
Ebay.com – Close To Free
Shutterstock.com
Alamy.com
SmugSmug.com
Imagekind.com – Free

Also, you can sell images to friends and family. Another thing I’ve seen some artists do to sell their work is to go to a local flee market. Message me if you need more help.
