I have shoot one of the top ten model from UK age 18, in Spore. Have to paid for it including airfare and hotel. am I pro.
i guess u are around my age group, as most "models" or rather "talents" here are...
but this is for u.....
PROFESSIONALISM, in my context, is the way a person in a particular profession conducts his/her dealings..the attitude one takes on when working, be it shooting or modelling..and his /her conduct and approach towards work..and of coz the ability to perform in work....that is "pro" .....
but from the looks of it, ya attitude towards looking for a photographer here is getting u nowhere....
u could have paid to shoot together with the world's top model..whoever she may be...but tt does not make u any more pro than the fact tt u were did it.. similarly put...even if i were given a chance to shoot for the world's top model tomorrow...tt would still not make me a "pro"...
some people say Professional photographers are those that charge for shooting....if so...would u still want a professional portrait photographer... if it is...say so.... if u are willing to pay...i am sure many of the professional's rates in the forums would interest you greatly...
however, i guess the "pro" u are looking for is more of a skill based honorary...tt is something that is given by others ...not self declared... if so... then it may be right for u to request for a portfolio..better still, u should work based on referrals based on friends or so.....
but ya modus operandi , tone and lingistics skills do not seem to hold humidity enough to sanction that...
i said my peice...simply put...pro...u are not... neither am i.... with a tone like this, who would want to or perhaps even dare to work with u, be it a tfp or a paid assignment?
do not quote me... like said...i am just a small boy voicing my small thoughts in this very big world...
