What makes professional photography difficult? What differentiates a professional from an amateur?
In: Other
In addition to knowing about composition and storytelling, professionals have two things: the patience to wait as long as they need to in order to get a specific shot (which also means that they know how to plan to get that shot), and the willingness to take lots and lots of pictures to get a single great shot. It’s easier today with digital images when you can simply delete the 599 shots that didn’t work for some reason. But even film photographers would take dozens or hundreds of shots to get the exposure, focus, expression, or something else that they were specifically looking for.
