I'm not sure which one is correct:

Have long have you been into photography? or
Have long have you been in photography?
 
They are both correct but mean different things.
 
Person A: I have a passion for photography.
Person B: Have long have you been into/in photography?
 
Person A: I have a passion for photography.
Person B: Have long have you been into/in photography?
With "into", A is asking about B's interest. With "in", A is asking about B's profession.
 
Am I the only one to have noticed the huge error?!

Have long ...
