A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.
This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

If you already have a camera, try to locate and offer shooting photos/video to local dentists. This can open up different fields to learn. For example:
Architecture photography - shooting photos/videos of the clinic (treatment room, waiting room and so on).
Portrait: take photos of the staff. Individual photos and team photos
On the job: take photos/videos of the dentists and staff working (treating patients, welcoming/releasing patients etc).
If you can stand some blood, take photos/videos of specific treatments. Dentists usually use those on future presentations and case studies.
This can take you to many new heights in very few years if you're good at it, and have good manners and a great personality.
I started doing this type of work about 8 years ago, and it led me to shooting dentistry master classes in many different countries, and then working with dental Implants manufacturers (covering events and doing products photography/videography) across Europe.
Additional services I started offering over the years include
Usually I do everything from scratch. It's the content I capture, and I show the dentists different ways to make the best use of the media to drive their reputation and business forward.
If you ask me what do I actually love doing, it's wildlife photography and videography. When you become good at something, and it pays the bills while also allowing you buy the expensive equipment required for your hobby, such as Super-Tele lenses and better cameras, just do it.
Never limit yourself, better your skills, learn the craft and always think differently.
By the way, I never attended photography of videography schools. I Learned everything from YouTube, online forums and books.
All the best!
