What makes professional photography difficult? What differentiates a professional from an amateur?
In: Other
There’s so many different forms of professional and amateur. After doing a couple weddings I realized I did not want to be a professional photographer, reason was I’m not the kind of person that is good at directing people, nor do I understand how to pose a person.
Really enjoy the science and art of photography there’s so much to it there’s always something to learn, focus, fstops, framing, editing, light levels, white balance, shutter speeds, depth of field, and that’s just a short list of the technical stuff. Then there’s understanding the artistic part of it like golden ratio and complementary colors, all those things that just make a photo pleasing.
You can be a professional stock photographer, if you have a extremely good understanding of the technical aspects of it. You can make a pretty good living just taking pictures of mundane things, if you are capable of capturing perfect pictures.
