[QUOTE="Rick M, post: 16419, member: 4399"] I think you hit it right on the head! There is no quality or expertise standard in the photography trade for one labeling themselves a "pro". The "pro" that did my wedding, although highly recommended, did a terrible job. I think some type of industry accreditation would go a long way in weeding out the pro-wannabies. Perhaps if an organization of professionals established quality standards, someone labeled a "pro" would have credibility and be held to a base level of quality by the organization accrediting them. A degree or expensive equipement (like my wedding photograher) creates an image of professionalism, but it is no guarantee of professional results. [/QUOTE]
