I'm sure there are people who make a living selling their fine art photographs. I know two such individuals. Period. You see, there is a fundamental economic reality that can't be avoided and that is that the buyer determines what sells. We may want to make personally motivated, personally expressive photography, but if that's not what buyers want to acquire, we have little chance of selling work. So what do we do? We find ancillary ways to pay the bills. Come to think of it, has the art life ever been different than this?
