it\'s relatively subjective one\'s chosen definition of professional. there are many photographers (some here on FM) that aren\'t generating income on a full-time basis. they surely have a lot of experience & skill in photography and are professional in their craft. i will not degrade them by calling them amateurs.
there are serious hobbyist right here on FM that can shoot circles around some individuals that are receiving financial return from photography and refer to themselves as \"professionals\". there is even an old phart on FM that owns more equipment than nation geographic and he shoots like a ng photographer. he and i have had our differences but, i would not insult that old phart by referring to him as an amatuer.
the moral of the story if one can meet the equipment requirements of Canon Professional Services and are by definition a \'professional\' in any of the categories of merriam-webster adjective, adverb, or noun (listed above) then by all means sign-up for CPS .
personally, i prefer being referred to as a Master Photographer that is professional in one\'s craft.
