Hello all,


I'm a sophomore in high school, so I'm looking at career options. Herping has always been a passion for me, so I've been looking at biology programs at colleges, but about a year ago I started getting into photography. I love it, especially nature and landscape photography. I figured this was a good place to ask any professional photographers (herp or otherwise), what should I be doing now to better my chances of succeeding as a photographer as an adult? Should I look into college photography programs? When should I start building a portfolio/What should be in it? Any and all advice is appreciated, thanks in advance!
