The analogy applies equally to most paid photographers. Here's a case in point. My fine art buddy is taking on some documentary jobs to pay the bills. We were talking about workflow, and we quickly converged on the same basic approach: these new commercial clients deserve a workflow that is as fast and as cheap as practical. Gallery clients get a workflow that is super sensitive to color (because that's super important); they sometimes like LF chromes anyway. For his own art work, the skies the limit and workflow still TBD. And this is from a guy who regularly sweats bullets for days/weeks over a single print. He bought my D70 and accessories as a backup. But he shoots Mamiya/Linhoff MF/LF for his fine art work.
