Should I study photography as an apprentice or go to school?

It is recommended to go to a photography school first. Although the school teaches basic things, basic things are very important. After studying, if you learn well, you can work as a photographer directly. If it's not good, you can start with an assistant. Because you have a foundation, you will get started faster. If you are an apprentice, it depends on luck, because photographers may not be willing to teach you sincerely. I am a girl, and I also study in a photography school. I went out as a photography assistant for three months, and now I am a photographer. Well, this is my experience. I hope what I said is helpful to you.
