They begin as amateurs who cover the weddings of friends and soon become adept at it and make it a part time occupation. From then, they may discover that there is more to be earned from photography than from a regular job. The same thing can also happen to computer enthusiasts and writers. They start out as hobbies and become jobs. Such people, who enjoy their work are likely to be true professionals.
