Best Answer:
I would suggest to get a job in IT to earn your living. Then try to get some freelance work. I am not sure how it is in India, but generally newspapers and magazines are often interested in images, but it will take you a while to figure out which ones (if any) are interested in your work. If there are nature conservancies or anything non-commercial organizations involved with natures (e.g. garden societies) or protecting natures you could volunteer for them. Even if it doesn't get you money, it will get your name out there and you will build a portfolio. If there are art shows you can try to submit your work. Practice whenever you can and when you go out, always have your camera along. You can take classes and read through photography books. You can also look for internships with photographer at newspapers and magazines. I also would recommend to ask this question in the photography section, you are more likely to find people with commercial experience in nature photography there.
