I'm hoping if I become a professional photographer (or a Pro-Amateur Photographer), I will not act as a jerk to a novice photographer to anyone who are trying to learn to use the camera. Many times I see some photographers who are preparing for a project, I see cockiness and arrogance in their face acting like they are on top of the world. They even show off their camera (or too many unnecessary cameras to hold). I could write tons of examples I've seen these kind of people, but I can't because it will be too long to write. Some photographers are nice, generous, and really professional to people. A few months ago, I was attending college for a different course, a photographer came into the lab (it's a biology course) to take a shot with the teacher and bunch of students gather along to take the photo of the chunk of the chopped tree. She, the photographer, was really nice and was not a jerk to the students. It went great and it was posted on the local college newspaper, the front page.
I know people are disappointed I didn't write any examples of how rude some professional photographers are.Trust me, it's not worth it. Some photographers don't deserve that title "Professional," because they are not one.
Please reply, tell me your experience with these "professionals."
You get this sort of behaviour in all walks of life and every profession - its human nature I'm afraid !
