This chapter discusses how different mediums of art are created for the purpose of making money. I believe that film, painting and photographs are all created in order to make a profit off of it. YEs, of course all artists enjoy creating peices of art just for the sole purpose for themselves, but most artists do not want to starve and must use their talent to make some money. I believe that being a great photographer definitely has its side to making some money because of your great talent. Every photographer, if talented, will be able to sell their work to someone. Everyone has different tastes on what is beautiful. Some photographers are lucky enough to get into the commercial aspect of photography and their clients who will be paying for these photographs will be high end companies and can probably afford to pay more so these photographers might make some extra cash than fine artists. I might be biased by saying that, but it's just my own opinion.
