5. Parallel Growth in Fine Art & Commercial
I believe what sets me apart from my peers is that I never neglected the chance to shoot my own work on a commercial shooting. I always had my eye out for what I LIKED, and not being consumed by the needs of my client at the time (although that was very important to make sure they were happy with what I shot).
I was able to develop a way to bring my own style to commercial shootings, *while also shooting my own fine art material on the shootings*. By doing this over the years, it's what set me apart from other photographers.
In this video, I go into detail about how I did this through a couple stories while I was shooting for clients, and offer tips on how you can learn to do the same.
