[QUOTE="johnwartjr, post: 16745, member: 2176"] I think a lot of people put too much emphasis on the word 'professional'. As stated, it's not like a college degree, or a certification, so anyone can 'call themselves' a professional. The quality of your work and your actions are what makes you a professional, not having the best or latest and greatest equipment. And, you wouldn't walk up to a client and say 'Hi, I'm John, your Professional Photographer!' any more than you would be likely to walk up to a client and say 'Hi, I'm John, your Professional DJ!', or 'Hi, I'm John, your Professional Caterer' Introduce yourself as John the Photographer, and *they* will decide if you're a professional or not. Based on the quality of your work, and your actions - or the recommendation of previous clients, your portfolio etc. [/QUOTE]
