Hi, I got into photography a couple of months ago and have been taking pictures ever since. I’m in love with it. I enjoy documenting daily life and eventually plan to go to festivals and document those as well.

I’ve been really interested in photojournalism at the moment and have been reading tons of articles about it. My question is: Is it a viable career? I’m 17, so I’m not completely sure about what I want to do in general… But photography has captured me in a way no other hobby has. All I think about is taking pictures and how I can’t wait to get out the next day and take more.

I live in a small village and have been taking pictures of the small things, like how people decorate their houses and the environment. I want to eventually take pictures of festivals and maybe even demonstrations if I ever get the chance.

I would truly appreciate any advice.
