Now how do you define someone as a professional?
It's a trivial thing, but I suppose I choose to define someone as a professional when they start being paid for whatever it is that they do.
For example, you can have a bumming arts student who does drama. The moment they start getting paid for doing it (however little) I'd consider them a professional. Sure they're not making their livelihood out of it, but someone is willing to pay them to do whatever it is that they do.
The reason this has popped up in my mind is this: I'm doing the photo shoot for a party tonight. I've done a few of these and they're quite fun. However, I was just told that I was going to be paid for this. Not much, like $50 + drinks, but hey, it's a start. Does that make me a professional?
I'm leaving it to your comments to decide.

Getting paid in any way, shape or form, yes.
depends on the audience. If your talking to other photographers, nop, your not a professional... If your talking to someone normal and wanna make a point, then CLEARLY your a professional :P at least thats the principle i use lol....
im going with "talk to normal/impress a hot chick" path :P
how impressed will the hot chick be I wonder ...
by the way, we're not gay.
