Right now my day-to-day work is primarily design work for corporate communications, not so many opportunities for art direction or styling these days... original shoots are not even a weekly event. Clients have difficulty grasping the benefits of original imagery over stock. Stock does have a place in design, but clients who sell themselves based on their own unique merits (and not simply on price point) should understand that stock will never tell their story in a compelling way.

Ideally I would like to get to the point where I spend a greater amount of time generating those compelling images for corporate and fashion clients, and a smaller amount of time designing the settings for those images. Until then I am going to keep creating images in all my spare moments, as well as network with other creative people at every opportunity. It's great for Fred and I to have access to each other, but we both welcome the fresh element that working with other personalities brings to a shoot.
