Keith Cooper looks at what he means when he calls himself a professional photographer. Are there too many photographers, should professional photography be a regulated profession? Should you need qualifications and should you join a recognised professional body. Keith looks at his many years as a working photographer and why such choices are, he feels, entirely personal and business choices, not a matter for regulation. This is one of Keith's ongoing series of videos about different areas of the business side of photography. It's a question that recurs over the years - Keith wrote this back in 2011 addressing the same issues http://www.northlight-images.co.uk/regulation-and-control-of-pro-photographers/ ----------------- If you'd like to make a small donation, I have a Kofi page: "Buy me a coffee" https://ko-fi.com/keithcooper ----------------- My articles and videos are always free to access.
