We can do both. Good answer and quite correct, IMO. There is such a thing as digging too deeply.You've got the camera gear so you shoot what the client or publication wants to the best of your ability, keeping in mind your own standards and what you will tolerate from a client. The rest of the time photograph what turns you on artistically. If you are not a working photographer then all you have to worry about is the latter. Don't agonize over it. Done. Next question!
