Career Advice on Professional extreme sports photography?

July 13th, 2012 3 comments

I’m in my last year at secondary school and have a huge interest in extreme sports and have been taking amateur pictures for a couple of years, mainly BMX and trials. I’ve always been interested in making it my career, can anyone give advice on how to start along this path? Could i get an apprenticeship in this area or would a university course be best?

I’m not sure about apprenticeship but i doubt there is a university course that teach extreme sports photography exclusively… but if you do take it, you will learn other styles and techniques in photography that you might be able to use when taking pictures of extreme sports… it will also help you connect with people of similar interest… my best advice is to keep on doing what you do and also to look at other photographers who are known in this field and learn from them… whether or not you go get a degree in photography is up to you
