I disagree. In your opinion that's what it takes to be a photographer. If someone is the person taking the photographs then they are the photographer. A person out gathering photographs with their camera is a photographer. This doesn't mean they are a good photographer or a pro photographer. To be a pro photographer you must earn the bulk of or at least the majority of your income from photography. Being a pro photographer doesn't necessarily mean they are good at multiple types of photography. I knew a person who worked for a company that made all kinds of products from injection plastic molding. He worked in the company studio and he photographed all the different products the company made and worked on all the catalogs and visual documents and brochures. He was their in house photographer. His personal camera at home was a Kodak pocket camera.
I also know a gal who does studio portraits but she doesn't have a clue about event photography and wouldn't dream of wildlife photography. I enjoy wildlife photography.
I personally have lots of studio gear, that I actually do use from time to time; have photographed numerous events and even some wedding over the years. I've done several paid jobs over the years. I once toured the USA on a motorcycle and took hundreds of photos on the way, many while riding. I enjoy many types of photography and have a camera handy most anywhere I go. I even own some fairly adequate camera gear.
I'm a decent photographer, but by no means a professional photographer, but I know how to use my cameras well enough.
Today, just about anyone can go buy a Nikon D5600 and a couple lenses, advertise on the internet or through word of mouth, and if people are willing to part with their money for the person with the digital cameras services, they become a photographer, and if enough people part with enough money, they become a professional photographer.
So, it doesn't really matter what you own or what you do with what you own or how much you know about photography; it all boils down to how well you market yourself. It also helps to be a quick learner...

What I typed is mandatory if you are to make consistently viable Images. Experience cannot be taught, it needs to be earned.
