[QUOTE="theregsy, post: 16725, member: 4398"] I would like to ask you all what in your mind makes a "pro" seeing as there are no formal qualifications to pass or internationally recognised standard. I have heard arguements that a pro is someone that usues pro gear, someone who makes over 50% of their living by photography, is someone who has been published and even my favourite, someone who gets asked back to do more work. I use pro gear (d2x) have had photos in my local press and magazines, get asked back to nearly evey festival in the area to shoot their events and a lot of local bands ask me to attend gigs and get photos of them. Income, LOL, I have been paid for 2 or 3 freelance jobs for the paper, going rate for a music festival is a free ticket and maybe a food voucher or 2, gig coverage usually a pint or 2 from the band. (Will work for Beer! LOL) Whats your take? pro or not? I am asking as this is one of those questions that seem to upset so many people that I though I should ask it, and the forums here have a much nicer friendly atmosphere than some i could mention. But I am genuinely interested in what peoples opinions are. What defines a Pro????? [/QUOTE]
