If someone will pay you to take photographs you are a professional
photographer.

I agree, most pro photogs have to value add now, just making photos
isn't enough, there is more money in training and seminars for the
hungry hoards of amateur photogs with a view to turning pro. All the
studios that I know tend to rent their gear and spaces or run
workshops more than they actually shoot projects for cash.

Only a very few have for a very long time. IIRC to be considered a pro you
have to make what 10% or 30% of your income from photography, I don't
remember exactly, but those are the numbers that stick in my mind. Most
made at least part of their income from teaching and seminars.

There's some truth in the title in some areas of photography. Like the
death of stock photos and the myriad of workshops and photo tours being run
by pro photographers who use to make a living selling their images.
I don't see phone cameras as any bigger threat to photography than the
original Brownie cameras were.
