There are courses at TAFE n places like that depending on your state and location. In fact, Centrelink (social security) can pay you to do a course, and sometimes even up to 3 years if the professional course goes that long.
I do know someone who did a year ago take on the exact thing u are talking about. The problem the person encounted, is that todays cameras are soo good, n cheap, that almost anybody can get absolute top photos out of very inexpensive cameras n print at many places like K Mart n Big W at their photo kiosk sitdown machines. Very inexpensive to print there or even at home with todays home printers.
What the person decided to do was a journalism professional course, where they can use the camera n do journo coverage. It pays more, n u get to be out n about n are not stuck inside all day. Search TAFE n Universities for Journo or photography careers. Goodluck with it.
