The best way into phtography is to take a subject of which you have specialist knowledge and use that as the basis.Learn how toi write about that subject as well as illustrate, then you may be able to get more for a package rather than just photos.Look at some books and see what rates publications actually pay for photographs.You may not be so keen then...In the UK ther is a Freelance Photographers' Market Handbook which give s this kind of information.
