Galleries
Visiting a photography gallery is very important, as it allows you to see artwork that has been produced professionally and to appreciate the variety and skill level of those in the industry.
Whilst there, you should be writing down names and writing what you think of their work. You can collect free fliers to cut up and stick in your book, and even buy prints and books about your favourite photographers.
Here are a selection of galleries in the UK that you could visit:
