On my opinion professional photography consists of three main features
1. Technically correct (lightings, camera settings, color, composition)
2. Responds to client's needs (or has a concept if it is an art or hobby)
3. Creative (creativeness is something that differentiate photographer from professional)
Along with the Technical skills (ex lights, composition, ... etc) , If i'm taking the photo for personal pleasure , It has to send or provide a certain Message , and if i'm taking it for a client, it has to answer the client's prespectives and satisfaction.
