Can I be a photographer with a junior high school diploma?

You can't be a real photographer when you go to the studio, because everything you shoot follows the routine.

Besides, I don't think you need to spend this money on a SLR, because you grew up very fast during your study. If you buy a 3000-yuan SLR, it will soon be sold or left idle because it cannot meet your requirements.

There is also an apprenticeship system, which generally does not require academic qualifications, but photography and photographing are two different concepts. Photographers pay attention to the idea that taking pictures is to make money. It's entirely up to you.

I suggest that if you have the opportunity, you should read more books, accumulate more social experience, sharpen it, acquire more social knowledge, and have more talent and experience, which is good for your photography.
