Depends on what type of photographer you want to be. I'm assuming you want to be a pro (versus an amateur). Training requirements will differ depending on whether you're doing commercial work (ads), fashion work (portraits with attitude), landscape/nature Photography, stock photography, outdoor or indoor (studio) work. It goes on. So, start thinking about what types of photos you want to shoot as you get the basics under your belt; it will influence your training path. If you want to go pro plan to get some basic marketing and possibly website design training under your belt too. Basic training will vary somewhat depending on whether you want to shoot film or digital. Take a good basic technical course that teaches you exposure, composition, lighting, intro to the darkroom or intro to digital imaging (workflow) software. Other advanced options beyond that include: black & white photography (and film developing), digital photography (and creating digitally altered or retouched images), specialized lighting training (needed for studio work or for on location ad work). It's always a good idea to join a local photo club in which you can have your shots critiqued and suggestions made for improving in a friendly environment by other photo enthusiasts. Remember, though, there's only so much training you can get. You have to have an "eye" for structuring images and/or telling stories visually. If you're just shooting photog for fun, then after the basics course just get out, do it, learn through trial & error, and enjoy!
