What exactly determines a “professional photographer”?
Good question.
I’d say someone that makes a living with a camera, but the romantic in me wishes there was something deeper to that.
There are Photogrpaher’s that are professional, and people that make a living making photos, and Photogrpahers that make art.
Some of my favorite Photographers dont make money doing it. And I know HACKS that make a lot of money doing it.
TLDR: no one knows.
