I Am A Professional Photographer

[ChristopherCoy]

As seen on the Digital Photography School forums:

"I am a pro photographer,
because I have a camera.

Everytime I see good equipement reviews,
I buy it so that it will make me even better.

When I'm taking pictures for clients,
they see I'm a pro since I have a large lens,
and the battery grip makes me even more pro.

I never take snapshots,
because I use a 70-200mm f/2.8,
and I use a full-frame body.

If a client don't like her portraits,
it's her fault.
She didn't use proper make-up.

I edit my photos on a Mac,
and use selective coloring.
That's why all my photos are art.

I set my camera to full auto,
since as a busy pro photographer,
I haven't time to care about details.

I can't learn from my errors,
because there aren't any.

I don't have to read about techniques.
My camera takes care of that.

So, why, WHY is my business going so bad? "

I've seen this before ... but it's still a funny read.

Sad truth is there are people who feel that way...wow..I don't see how anyone could feel they would be taken seriously with that thought process

I am NOT a pro and can't see myself thinking that way

I use selective color.....OMG, greatness.

I thought the "A" on that dial meant Awesome pictures!

"P" for professional, there, the secret is now out

Read "Fast Track Photographer" by Dane Sanders... it will change your view of "professional"

The scary thing is that I've met two "PROs" who actually believe in that mantra.

I don't choot in P, because I choot in "M" cause my name is Manual!
