I used to work in a studio. I was one of the best there. I wanted to do it on my own but I can’t focus on shit.
What type of photography you wanna do?

I'm no photographer at all but I'd suggest for a beginner maybe a regular point and shoot to get you started.. you wanna play around with the manual mode and see how it affects the shots you're taking. Get familiar with shutter speed, aperture, etc.
After you get more familiar with the fundamentals, you can step it up to maybe a DSLR or a mirrorless camera with interchangeable lenses for more advanced stuff depending on your budget.
Havent copped a camera/lens in a good while so I won't be much help on make/model. I do own a Nikon D7000 tho.
Most DSLRs or mirrorless joints have video capabilities as well.. If that's something you're also interested in, make sure you do your due diligence and research to ensure whatever you go with has the features ur looking for.

Post up some of the pics you take with it when you got some time!
Just now seeing this thread. I got into photography bout 3 years ago. Purchased kit like what he posted above. Mine is a nikon d5500 came with 2 lens 18-55, 55-300,2 batteries a bag and a DVD to teach you the basics that bad boy take pics better than any phone. But this is a hobby and a side gig. As I've done birthday parties family portraits and even clothes for boutiques.
But once I purchased the kit I went ham and that shit is expensive. Purchased a tripod, the nikon microphone, a 35mm,55mm prime lens and the clear uv filter to protect the actual lens a bigger bag and the speedlight. And thinking about adding a wide angle lens.
You should try your community schools they should offer online photography courses but do them one at time if you have a busy life I did 2 of em didn't work out for me so I'm gone take em again. Plus they only a 100$
I find I take better with my zoom lens. With the prime i feel like it's a lot of moving cause you can't twist the barrel but the ones I've taken with my prime lens are awesome
