Photographer Self-Portrait, 1870s

Cropped and cleaned stereograph shows self-portrait of photographer with camera on tripod, hotel, and lake reflected in a shiny globe. A professional photographer is likely to take photographs to make money, by salary or through the display, sale or use of those photographs. An amateur photographer may take photographs for pleasure and to record an event, emotion, place, as a person without a monetary motivation. A professional photographer may be an employee of a newspaper or magazine, or contracted to cover a particular planned event, or to illustrate an advertisement. An amateur may make considerable sums entering work in contests for prize money or through occasional inclusion of their work in magazines or the archive of a photo agency.
