What kind of person can call himself a photographer?

Can be roughly divided into three types of people:

Art class-

This kind of person takes pictures to complete the work, and doesn't care much about income and cost, and doesn't care much about whether the person being photographed likes his own photos. Some people will take part in some domestic and international art photography competitions and win prizes. There are many kinds of things to shoot, and there are few restrictions.

Occupational category-

This kind of people take photography as their job, and then divide their work in detail, such as news photography, people photography, conference photography, product advertising photography and so on. And the shooting content often has certain restrictions. For example, news photography must be true, and it is often time-sensitive, while other photography categories related to customers often need to be recognized by customers in order to be successfully completed.

Duty level-

More often, a photographer is a description of his duties. For example, a large group of people go out to play, and only Y Jun can claim: "I am a photographer today."

Or if the company has activities, it will often appoint an employee as a temporary photographer.

Off-topic: The Vocational and Social Security Bureau used to have the training and assessment of photographers, and the highest one can get the assessment of senior photographers. Later, this assessment was cancelled on 20 15. After that, anyone who wants to create and work with a camera can call himself a photographer.
