What makes professional photography difficult? What differentiates a professional from an amateur?

The same thing that makes one an artist…Talent.
I went to college for commercial art, which required courses in photography. I enjoyed it because I was a pretty good photographer. I had a nice Minolta X-frame camera with multiple lenses, films, filters and accessories. I had darkroom experience amd worked at it and was pretty good.
Along comes my Neice..who at 10 was taking photo’s on a POS Nokia phone that put mine to shame. I take good pictures. She had ‘the eye’ and creates art with her camera.
Anyone can be a photographer, or an artist. But very few will become Ansel Adams. You can always work and Improve and become great at it. Others will pick up a cheap camera amd just know what to do. This is true with pretty much every art, talent or skill.
