If they don't make their living by photography, they are amateurs. Professional photographer means their profession is as a photographer. That is the definition. Being a Pro or an amateur has nothing to do with the quality of the work. That is all he said. I don't get why you're so cranked up about it. I'm not to fond of ole Ken either but there is nothing wrong with what he said. He is just saying you don't have to be a pro to be good.Scott Klubeck wrote: Doesn't sound off? I know many great photographers who don't earn much from their photography, and they are far from being an amateur. It's dumb thing to be quoted saying IMO.
Don't confuse the terms. Quality has nothing to do with pro/amateur. Your "profession" defines whether you are a pro or an amateur. If it's your profession, you better be making money or you will be homeless and starving. Here is the definition of amateur out of the dictionary. "One who engages in a pursuit, study, science, or sport as a pastime rather than as a profession."Stanly wrote: Well it's a slippery slope, to suggest all that don't make a full time income as an amateur is off, way off actually.
