One of the best ways to get started in photography would be to work in a photo store or related shop area.
Note that many companies still offer official portrait services whereby you take photos of groups of people and so on.
Therefore a job like this would be ideal.
Also build up your own personal portfolio over time and enter photography competitions.
There may be a local photo society or club where you live and in which case you might get some great contacts and expert advice through this method too. Good luck!
