Whazzup everybody! Something troubled me as a struggling photographer when The Babylon Bee reported few months back that, "Canon announces that the latter begun to include a “professional photographer certificate" with all its cameras that cost $599 and up." If this is True or not True, still we have to ponder or even discern more on this one. It may help us learn how are we now in our photography skills. Canon may have their other point of view or valid reasons on why they include this certificate BUT to some users, this certificate is prone to abuse.
It was reported that "If you spend at least $599 on a camera, you're instantly transformed into a professional photographer, and now you have the documentation to prove it," a Canon spokesperson said to The Babylon Bee. "In a lot of professions, you have to take classes or practice for years before you truly become a professional, but not in photography. Just buy one of our budget to mid-range cameras, and you're in."
Am not against Canon. I love Their Cameras. My girl owns one and I am a Canon user too, but does buying a Canon Camera makes you a pro photographer?

It is said on the report that "Holders of this certificate are entitled to do photoshoots with payments because you have evidence that you are a pro photographer." It is not bad to ask a fee for your photoshoot service, that's totally okay but just because you have an evidence in a paper that comes with the camera package that tells you, you are a professional photographer, it is fallacy.
Becoming a pro photographer is not about the camera you own or the certificate that comes when you buy a camera but the way how you take and make photos, your attitude to your clients and co-photographers, your responsibility to your clients and to your co-photographers. Owning an expensive camera only helps your skills and talent capture a better picture technically but it does not make you a photographer. Becoming a pro, is not INSTANT... WORK FOR IT!
This is only my own opinion.
