If someone knows his equipment very well and relies on his skills rather than auto P&S or even worse, DSLRs on auto, can we call such person a professional?
What do you think? That's what matters.
I'd say he's amateur.
BTW
In Wikipedia I trust:
"A professional photographer uses photography to make a living whilst an amateur photographer does not earn a living and typically takes photographs for pleasure and to record an event, place or person for future enjoyment."
But is a dude with a phone-camera an amateur?
Maybe we should post a way to decipher such from well.... US to wikipedia? I think I got it:
An amateur enthusiastic photographer (AEP) takes/respects photography as a fine art and is obsessed with the activity whilst an amateur photographer does not take photography as an art and is not obsessed with the activity and typically takes photographs only to record an event, place or person for future enjoyment.
Hugh?
Now let's send a petition.
