I am amateur photographer. I mean this in the original sense of the word in that I do it for the love of the art, rather than having to make a living at it.

Word Origin and History for amateur: n. 1784, "one who has a taste for (something)," from French amateur "lover of," from Latin amatorem (nominative amator) "lover," agent noun from amatus, past participle of amare "to love"
