(After randomly clicking a popup on Getty Images that read "GettyImages - We're here to help you. Have questions? Chat with an image specialist. Chat now!")
[Thank you for choosing Getty Images. A representative will be with you shortly. For your security, do not give out your credit card number or other sensitive personal data during a Getty Images Live Chat session.]
[You are now chatting with Brooke.]
Brooke: Hello! How can I help you today?
miklos: I'd like to take some photos. But I don't even know where to begin... can you give me some pointers please?
Brooke: Hi Miklos, unfortunately I would not be able to help you with the creative side of taking images, I am in the sales office. The best thing to do would be to enroll in a class to learn about photography.
miklos: Oh. Does GettyImages offer training?
Brooke: No we do not
Brooke: I would start by looking at a local community college by you
miklos: Ok... this is proving to be more frustrating than I anticipated... maybe it's not the right choice for me at this point in time. Thank you for your support and I apologize for wasting your time!
Brooke: I don't think it has to be frustrating, you would just need to invest some time into learning it.
Brooke: Photography is a skill
Brooke: Good luck!
