RE: How do I get started in photography
Typically, you would have to know a good deal about photography to do it for a living just the same as any other profession. It is important to knowtechnical aspects of photo especially lighting concepts and how to compose and image and "tricks of the trade" wouldn't hurt either to learn. As previously mentioned taking some classes in basic through advanced photography can and will bring you a long way technically. From there it's all about meeting peopel and getting your foot in the door. The hunting industry is no different that any other... just a lot smaller and close knit than most. Good Luck TGK
PS- Generally, magazines and companies would like images that are a little closer and more focused on the animals eyes and prodominant features (ie racks). Good shot for a runner though!
