There is a lot of confusion between a professional and amateur photographer. And we get asked quite frequently what are we between both of them. A straightforward answer to it is, we are professional photographers. ![]() The term professional photographer means a person who earns 100% of its income from photography. It is less relates to photography skills and more towards business entities from marketing and networking to accounting and client relationships. Where as an amateur photographer are those who have a full-time job but earning extras from photography during their free time. Therefore, there are no definitions in terms of skill set in these types of photographers. Which means one can be better than another or vice versa. So which one should you choose for your project? Unfortunately there are no definite answers because art is very subjective. It is client’s personal preference and work relationship with the photographer. One thing for sure is that a professional photographer spent most of his/her time crafting images compared to an amateur photographer who is only free to explore photography after their full-time job.
At the end of the day, note that camera and equipment is just another tool to creative mind. Expensive cameras do not guarantee nice images. Potential clients are paying for solutions to their problem not photographers with high-end equipment.
