I have no idea how photographers can use a lens with the lens hood on backwards. I find if I accidentaly do it, the hood is annoying and gets in the way. So I either take it off or turn it around the correct way. In reference to camera straps, in a studio setting they would only get in the way, most of my photography is outdoors and I find the camera straps can be a real hassle in certain situations, but I much prefer a camera bag.

A company I work for used to own a studio about the size of a tennis court. This commercial D.O.P shows up and lines the walls with an insane amount of kit, like enough to cover the length of the room. Then he sets up three lights and starts shooting. He tells us, "All that kit is for the client. I don't need most of it"

A pro once told me: size matters. If you have a big camera and a big lens, most people will say you're a professional. It's exactly the same effect as a 15-year-old kid with a few programming notions talking about starting a business. People will trust him almost with their eyes closed. At first I was skeptical, but I've literally made tens of thousands of dollars walking around in the woods with a 600 F4 and a d850 with good social skills: it's free advertising. Everybody can know someone that needs a pro for some work. I sometimes go bird-hunting and talk for hours with people, then I get out a portrait or wide-angle lens, we chat, exchange contact details, I show them a good time, we exchange, we learn. One time out of 3, I get a request for a quote within a month.

Sooo many people are asking if I am a professional and my answer always is: "No, it is just my hobby to unwind from my day-to-day job as a software developer!" 🙂 That happens considerably less often if I have the 24-70mm or the Macro lens on my camera.

This was important to wedding photographers for a long time. Long after it was well established that 35mm film and cameras were up to the task, medium format gear was part of the game for the sake of appearance. Lots of people had an uncle wih a "good" 35mm camera that as good or better than common professional choices of the day. If the wedding "pro" showed up with uncle Ed's camera then it undermined their appearance as a competent professional. Obviously no pro would use such pedestrian stuff for a wedding, so having a camera uncle Ed didn't have was a psychological part of the sale. I still feel like that is part of what has undermined the perceived value of professional photographers in the digital age. Pros use the same cameras as enthusiasts that everyone knows, so there is little visible difference that would send a message that this guy knows his stuff any more than any random shutterbug that has a modern DSLR or MILC. Sales, and the art of making a pitch that people will buy into is often accompanied by the phrase "Dazzle 'em with brilliance, or baffle 'em with bull$hi+!" This has an unfortunate amount of truth to it in an age where people have the attention span of a goldfish and almost no real knowledge of the service they are paying for. Appearances are a huge part of perception. Perception is a huge part of closing the deal.

I shoot with Godox lights. I love my AD 1200 packs and the fact that I can afford 3 of them for the cost one a single pro photo makes it worthwhile. Sure the build quality isn’t there compared to broncolor but at 1/10th the cost it makes sense for me. I also have an 85” tv mounted on a 90 degree swivel mount in my studio which allows me to have my capture one output at life size or larger. It’s 100% tacky and completely unnecessary but my clients think it’s the best thing outside of Hollywood. It’s a sad truth that you have to show up with WAY more gear than you need just to “appear” professional but it is what it is and we’ll continue to do it until the world realizes that it’s unnecessary.

Well at least most of it is true as long as the old ppl are in the industry (agencies), who knew the "good old prestigious times" and don't know what new gear and stuff is out there to do the job (cause gear does the job..). On the other hand the young folks often got no clue at all, even though they call themselves Art Director or Marketing something. No matter how you turn it, something is wrong in the outer perception. It hurts to fit the expectations in terms of incidentials, when the main attention should be on the output.

Want to really look like an amateur, don't use a light meter. Take endless shots and chimp. Not only is it slow, when you find a combination you like, try repeating it precisely without a meter. I regularly use 5 or 6 light sources in a shot. One of my trade mark shots I got because as the band was packing up, I was able to dial in a set up in 3 minutes with a meter to get a shot that ended up as a magazine cover. They would have been long gone if I was messing around chimping.

Agree on the most of things except the Godox and carrying a camera strap. You know what really makes you look like a complete amateur in front of a client ? When you drop and break your lens or your camera because you had no camera strap on. I've seen too many amateur photographers being educated by Instagram and KZitem channels telling them they don't "look pro" if they carry a camera strap. Be a professional, look like middle age tourist on vacation with camera around your neck. Have a camera strap around your arm but don't let your ego costs you 3000-4000 euros in damage because you wanted to look "cool" and because Instagram "photographers" told you so.

Some of these things make a lot of sense, even if they seem unimportant on some level. But other things actually are truly unimportant- especially when a photographer, who in these scenarios have already been approved and hired, is capable of standing by their work and their process. Confidence goes a long way. If the client is turning their nose up at the brand of monitor you've brought, there's probably something else going wrong- otherwise I'd say "if you want my work, those are the monitors you get." Period. What about all the other talk we hear of successful creatives doing great things with seemingly rubbish equipment, or improvising using unconventional equipment/material/techniques? Maybe this advice on fitting appearances to suit expectations applies more to the "director for hire" style, where the photographer is just filling a function in the media machine process, as opposed to when a brand takes a risk and hires a photographer artist for their creative vision?

Professional or "Pro" is a pretty stupid term. Even if a photographer is business successful, doesn't guarantee they know what they are talking about when it comes to camera's or lighting... it just means they know they're workflow well enough to produce an image they're client is happy with. I have seen 100's if not 1000's of photographers over the years, who are full professionals (meaning there main source of income is form their photography), who a lacking in the basics of photographic theory and lighting. And a particular brand of equipment does not make it "Pro" because of its price or where it is used and available for hire. Broncolor uses the same trigger as Godox (X-1T) comes out of the same factory in China. Its been proven over and over again, the light coming from Bron, Profoto is no different from Godox. Yes the form might be built tougher for bangs and drops (and they have to be the way assistants use them at hire studios), but that just makes them different, not better. The "Pro" term that is being discussed here... is high end commercial photographers. This is a very, very, very small proportion of the whole professional photographic community. Photographers with medium to large crews, $10,000 plus shoot budgets... Money for gear at these shoots is no issue. But by the numbers, there is much larger group of professional photographers out there where budgets are no where near as high, and money for gear is an issue that needs to be considered. I know in my region, Godox will sell 500 to 1 over Broncolor and Profoto, because you can get 2 to 1 or even 3 to 1 for the same price. It all depends on what you are shooting and who for. The most important thing to appear "Pro" is, never be on a shoot or before going "not sure how to solve this problem", scratching your head, staring at the back of your camera looking at image with a bemused look on you face. Client will see these things, and instantly loose confidence with you and think, not "Pro"

And as much satire this is - so much truth is in there. Unfortunately...

yes there was a point midway through making it where I was questioning the joke because although it isnt the case.... it kinda is.

@@TinHouseStudioUK A friend of mine is a professional and really good wedding photographer. When mirrorless came around, she was extremely hesitant to adopt the new tech as she feared the potentially smaller camera size would have drawn attention by the wanna be experts on customer or model side. This is ridiculous, that an expert, who has proven their craftsmanship numerous times has to even have that thought. Yet there we are.
