From a $ point of view, yes I consider myself a professional. I supplement my retirement income with my photo sales (mid five figures).
From a photographic knowledge viewpoint, In my opinion I am an advanced amateur at best. (i.e., I have little to no knowledge of studio technique - nor any interest in learning any).

Jim, what type of photography do you do and when did you know you were ready to earn $$ with your photos? Thanks in advance for your comment.

No commentary please.
1. More than half of my income is from photography.
2. Part of my income is from photography
3. Amateur only.

I prefer the term "Hobbyist". Amateur implies lack of skill.

Several places do not count retirement pay as an income. If not I have to pick #1. If yes then #2.

But must add that your definitions are wrong. It is education, not income that defines you as a pro or not pro.
