>>2713504>a photographerGuess what? The title of "photographer" is NOT protected, unlike real titles like "clinical scientist", "dietician", "social worker", "radiographer", etc.
It simply means the occupation of taking, and often printing, photographs. By occupation, I may mean a job but I may also just mean an activity or task with which occupies oneself.
In other words: Click button. Receive photo. You're a photographer.
Professional photographers are just photographers who know how to market themselves. Nothing more, not anymore.
