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 ;)

you're definitely right on this: mostly everything we nowadays consider great art from people like da vinci was ordered and paid by the church or rich people. like the Mona Lisa, which was simply a paid potrait of the wife of a rich venetian merchant
it's not that we don't like our work - and i can spot in the sets whether my guys liked the girl or not - but i treat this strictly as a business. if a job does not make profit then we don't do it. even if it might be fun or the girl has nice brown eyes.
