John_Crippen_Photography Someone who's primary income in earned by taking photos. There are many different ways professional photographers can earn money through their images. Selling artistic prints, shooting specific places/items/people on assignment, licensing images to publishers, writing their own books, offering expedition and/or teaching photography to others, and often simply bartering with other businesses.
