how long will it take for me to learn photography?

i want to study photography. i have background in film making. my husband said my shots (thru cellphone camera) are creative and i have the potential to be a good photographer.. if i will start studying with a private tutor, how long will it take to learn all.. basics, lightings, lenses, angles etc. thank you.

its just experience the more u play with ur camera the more u learn,

it will be good if u plan to take a tutor, also u can take a way to take online lessons from Lynda.com or the internet bloggers on youtube. the also provide good and informative stuff!

as an amature photographer, i will recommend you to start with just Basic photography and dont go in much technicalities in the start like as u mentioned about Lighting and lenses.. this is a bit advance topic considered in photography

once u knows all the basics then move towards the lighting and taking pictures with different lenses. this will not confuse you when u learning the basics.

for camera angles you can follow this link:

but u dont need since u have a film making background..

thats it.. hope i have provided all info related what u have asked!
