and even when you are "pro" there's a level to what kind of professional you are. How do you know when you're a pro?

When would you guys consider yourself a professional photographer?

I would only if photography supports my:
House
Car
Food
Photo Gear (duh)
and anything else you can think of.

I wouldn't if it just paid for gear and I did a couple of weddings etc..

 

^ exactly. I think if it's ur main source of income or if u have a legit studio that is a business and not just a friends that know u type thing. ha ha

 

x2

And using that criteria, I only know one pro. The rest are hobbyists that take great pics.

 

I guess the real question is when to call yourself a photographer?

 

I'd say when you stop taking "snapshots".

 

I say, passed that. Like, extensively shooting for pleasure and or money.

 

professional really depends on the industry ur shooting in...some just don't have the money to support said things...

 

pro....shmo....get on with the pics! lol

On my way out the door to do some time lapse stuff at RiverPark....will post latah!

 

on travis afb. we have a duck pond.

 

i agree with everyone that posted above. just like everything you do it takes time to get good at. im still new to photography and you have to learn to take the good out of critism. and if you really wanna progress go back and do the shot over again(if possible). hope that helps and keep posting your shots, after a while youll notice your progression.

 

slugger, u can see the tripod in ur shot. See now he can go back and try to shoot it where it won't show up.

 

 

Another night at the shop.

 

In tha tpic I see, Supra, S2k, Lotus, a golf cart car? haha and the hidden one is too hard, but the one in the middle looks like it could be a tC. Or a Z. The sun roof steers me away from tC now..hmm, what is that!?

 

Top Secret Supra, RX7 (half hidden), S2000, Lotus, the stealthy G37, and a mini cf widebody Corvette.
