The last two years I have switched gears to photography (not yet paying the bills). I find a lot of similarities in the approaches I take to both. I like clean lines, lots of negative space, and certain combinations of bold and light elements. My design and my photography are both for others as well as for myself. I don't believe I could do either of them without both creating a whole part. If that makes sense? I need it for my own release of expression and creativity, but I also need it to, as George W. Bush so eloquently put it..."put food on my family". Not surprising I am a self taught graphic designer and that has been my main day to day job (pays the bills) for over 8 years.

For me, I wanted to be commercial, but I honestly didnt like the cookie cutter aspect of some shots. Working with models and being inspired by a vision for a shoot and selling prints is more satisfying than making something for the masses. Though, I can say, it doesnt appear to pay as well as I would like. :) It really does depend on your motivation for being behind the lens as you said.
