Build a Portfolio:

In order to start getting jobs as a freelance photographer, you'll need a portfolio. A portfolio will show samples of your work. Even if you have never had photographs published or publicly displayed, you can start a portfolio of your best work and then add onto it as you take more photographs.

Getting a Job:

The quality of the photo's in your portfolio will determine if you get paid for it or not.  Some people have more of a natural talent for taking great pictures than others but it is a skill that anyone can learn.

There are schools dedicated to the art of photography and you can even get a degree in it. If you are just getting started, you can look into classes provided by your local community centre or community college. Find out if there are groups meeting in your area to share photo's and go online to join a photography forum.
