and we developed our abilities in cooperation with our clients - the result is the "style" we shoot now. Is it good? is it bad? the people who buy from us decide.
but we stand behind our product just as you do

Either way, photos and visual product is created and people watch it and we make a commison/profit on the production.
I heard that some of the most praised works of art were produced commisioned, meaning someone actually paid the artist (in this case i think it was da vinci) to produce an art piece.. It was not some vision he was tinkering with while he was starving.. nope he was out there making some money doing what he liked..
Personally, I am a bit of a mix of dean and madalton.. yes i have some visions, but i also work for money, and will shoot something despite it is not exactly inducing my creative side(s). A couple of years ago, i would have worked for free if it was a hot enough model..and i still may do, if I can have rights to the material, but in most cases, i only work for money, even if i like the work ;)
