At what point am I considered a DOP?
I love the title and often call myself a DOP, I have shot quite a lot of videos (as an one man crew, directing/camera/lighting), and while I'm experienced setting up the lights I own (Chimeras and a couple of divas) I have never been responsible for lighting outside of my own projects. They are all corporate projects and I don't use lighting to set mood but to get a good image.
Every single project I have shot I have myself listed as DOP, even the ones where there was no lights or just green screen.
Am I a DOP? I have knowledge of lighting, light-meter, lenses and own my own gear - no experience with film, or ever been hired by someone else.
Thanks for the comments, please be as blunt as you can.
