You can not carried out shares trading as business but you may make invesment in shares and in that case you have every right show the income of shares in your income tax return.

The same is my opinion in regard of selling photographs shot by you. You have no right to carry out the business or trade of selling photographs may shot by you otherwise you will be in trouble
