Resources and learning 

There are some great resources for young DOPs and aspiring cinematographers to learn the craft. Online tutorials and masterclasses are a great way for a DOP to learn. Practicing photography is one of the best ways as photography hones your craft down to one image. Photography is also a great way to showcase to directors your skills. as a director of photography you will be working with a director closely and you should be able to have detailed conversations about photography to choose a direction for your next DOP job.
