I dream of becoming a photographer just as a hobby.

This one can also absolutely become true! You can start by just taking photos with your phone, learning about composition/lighting/etc, looking every day for interesting shots.

You can also learn photo editing; Google's Snapseed and Adobe Lightroom are both free on mobile and incredibly versatile. (On PC, Paint.NET and GIMP are decent, though the former is a bit more simplified and the latter is rather hard to learn. There's also the option of Adobe CC, if you're either willing to pay a ton or go by less than legitimate means...)

There are also manual camera apps that let you play around with the more technical aspects of photography, ie focus, exposure, and ISO.

If you have the money/time to invest in a DSLR or mirrorless, that also opens up a whole world of possibilities of photographs you can take. But even without that there's a lot to explore with just the phone in your pocket.

I have and I mean I know some stuff because of my brother. He’s a professional and owns a camera that is amazing and I want one just like it. Its a canon rebel t7i. He let me use it back in September and I ended up borrowing it for longer. Before I returned it I actually took some photos at my moms new place and photos where I no longer live. Actually my avatar is a picture I took with the camera.
