To be able to step aside and realise that you've made a mistake, or even just realised your priorities has changed, is a good thing and something you should be proud of. You tried law, you found it's not working out. Maybe next time will be better, yeah?

I've had a look at your flickr and it's lovely! Your photos are really nice and easy to look at and your angles are great. You definitely have something to work with and if you're passionate about it, I'd definitely recommend going to it! Actually, a question - have you ever considered doing something along the lines of travel journalism? As I was in a you-can-pretty-much-mix-and-match in my media course, some people did do journalism and photography and really got into the process. Being able to write as well as take pictures is always a plus and you can also appeal to two markets, if you did that, as you have English and Italian as languages. Anyway, travel journalism doesn't even mean you have to go all over the place; you could just explore Scotland or places around Scotland. It might be interesting for you! In media journalism and photography isn't something that is overly competative or exhaustive, either, so it should be okay to get into. I often get emails about photography things in and around Manchester (such as with fashion and what not, taking pictures for companies which even if you don't get paid for you can add to your portfolio, etc). It's definitely something worthwhile to pursue and definitely something that comes with great opportunities.
