As long as my customers are happy with the quality of my work, and they continue to pay me for it, does it really matter if I'm considered a "professional" photographer?
Well, it could.
I'm a "professional photographer" in every sense. If someone were to ask me if I were a "professional", and I said "No", how do I know that they weren't asking because they needed to hire one? If I don't consider myself a "professional", why would I expect my clients (who are fabulous in the "word of mouth advertising" category), to do it?
But he already has the customers that are happy with his work and then no longer considers the label important. Now before they saw your work can be a whole different subject.
