could i do this?

[Spikeydeath]

I've been torn the last two years on what I want to do
I want to do photography and I want to do fx makeup
Could I do them both?
Also anyone know of a cheap good camera for getting into photography...need one for class (taking classes for photo and online tutorials for makeup)

If you're planning on doing effects makeup as a hobby rather than a career it's certainly possible. If you want to do both as possible career options, it would be difficult. Possible, I'm sure, but it would take plenty of hard work.

for the makeup if he/she whatever is realy behind it could make it in a year or two creating pretty amazing stuff, given some talent

photography, depends on how much time is left between training makeup and doing something else

if you´re dedicated, yeah it could work, just don´t give up

The thing is I don't know how I would make money with makeup

One of my best friends is currently at school for effects makeup, and is planning on heading to California to work as an effects artist for movies. It's certainly possible to make a living with makeup, don't use that as an excuse not to pursue a passion.

Um for school? Photography, unless you have cash flowing around.
Fx makeup school wont provide you with a camera, you need to buy makeup and costumes. This isnt a pay the tuition and thats it.
For a job, do whatever.

A cheap camera won't do for either.
