does a label change the way you take photographs? will it sell ore images do you think being labeled PRO...?
id be happy you take good images and happier that you sell some. no need for a label to show your good at what you do.

thats exactly the point i am trying to make we do what we can to our best ability! but the question asked was when do you step over the line as of from beginner, armature, semi pro and all the way up to so called pro? "that's going to get em biting" this could be fun no offence ment.

ok for "fun" i guess i would label myself as a semi pro knowing i have sold images and have been commissioned for shoots, BUT its not my main objective to "sell" images just to take them for lesuire.....

very rare I do a shoot where I'm not asked "how long have you been doing it for"

it's an interesting one really - it's 2 years full time, 7 years since paid wedding no.1 and 10 years since DSLR no.1


I still find it amazing that I actually get paid for effectively doing my hobby - even walking around building sites with a group of directors and managers trying to get "brochure" shots is rather enjoyable.

I may feel differently were I shooting products all day

But as I'm head honcho, I choose not to do that.... very often anyway

so back to the start of this if you sell shots pro or semi? the definition of pro correct me if im wrong is a tog who makes his or hers full time income out of photography? a semi pro is someone who only makes a little out of their hobby?
