its never too early to start practicing your photography skills. take some pictures you think are good, and mess around with them. experiment. if you want to be a big time photographer then you need to start now. take classes in highschool when you get there that are art classes. that will help you understand your basic arts. to start up in your career, you could try working for a newspaper, or magizine as a photographer and you could get recognized that way by a pro and you could become the big photographer with people working for you that are in the same situation that you are in now. i hope this helps you out some. and remember, practice makes perfect.

I'm 12. Yes! I know that i am very young! But that i think i need to start young if i want to go big. I really love photography. I am almost 100% sure that i want to be a photographer. I don't just want to be some plain jane photographer. I want to be a BIG photographer. Possibly work with famous people when i am older. So i am wondering what age i should start working on that, and how? How do you start up in a photography career? Please help?
Start NOW.
Start learning all about the art and technical aspects of photography.
Photography is not just something that you walk into when you want to, it is a profession which takes time to learn and time to get your name "out there".
By starting now you are giving yourself a proper chance to learn the photographic and business side of things and also to find out if it is in fact the profession for you.

if you're absolutely set on it, then start now!
Start taking lots of photos, invest in a good camera and just take heaps of photos. Look around for competitions and stuff to enter and send in your photos. You could also go around to small clothes shops in your area and ask if you can take photos for their ads and stuff, you'd probably need to start doing that for free though.
And build up a portfolio of your work so you can show people.
