What makes professional photography difficult? What differentiates a professional from an amateur?
In: Other
Besides simply deriving income from photography, the largest difference between a professional and an advanced amateur is consistency and the ability to deliver good/great images every time. It doesn’t matter if the situation isn’t ideal, you don’t feel up to it or you have equipment malfunctions. Amateurs don’t usually have the knowledge and/or experience to do this.
Also, it has so much less to do with equipment than most people think. Camera bodies and lenses are just tools and can make the job easier but the talent lies in the person using them. You really only unlock your true potential when using your gear becomes second-nature and you’re able to concentrate more on the images you create.
