As someone who does both commercial as well as fine art photography I assure
you that the imaging demands of commercial photography depending on the job
can be as demanding as those for a fine art exhibit or portfolio.
Depends on the size of your fine art prints.
And that mainly would be the main the criteria for a commercial job as well.
I've been hired to make 30x40 inch C prints for commercial clients and a few
occasions.. Images I shot for them for that purpose.
Never has a gallery or collector asked me to make one from my serious work.
I had a show of 20x24 fiber black and whites once.
Some of my serious work might not do well at 20x24 to 30x40.
Sometimes you don¹t know till you print them.
I find it interesting people who feel they are in a position to make
sweeping pejorative statements about a whole profession, one in which they
would appear to have little knowledge. But apparent expertise in causal
street shooting and camera collecting.
