If I could start over today I would study graphic design and photography. With this combination one has many more options to succeed. With photography alone it is very difficult to make a living.
I myself love the art form and do the commercial part as training. I work for FIT, Show designers, Artists, Architects and design companies.
My goal is to work in studio for clients in the US and Europe and continue working on my art. The combination between fine art and commerce is great. Both benefit. I have many well received images but I am still looking for a Gallery that has a clientele that is mainly interested in photography. Ideal would be to show in New York, Berlin and Paris.
