This image of the West Virgina Captial building reminds me a little of the systemic confusion in our government.
Photographers can be challenged with genres. There are the Fine Art Landscape photographers that have focused on just landscape and then when faced to make a living they need similar skills in a different genre that will sell perse'. A good example is when someone has mastered one genre, i.e., landscape and then need comparable skills in people portrait photography.
It's a matter of paradigm. The challenge is bringing the best of what a photographer does into all of their work, regardless if it's landscape, people portrait, fashion, etc. It's not a far reach once the photographer has cleared the confusion of what is needed to get clients.
Seeing is seeing, and if the heart of the photographer is into what they are doing, genre shouldn't keep them from having the ability to accomplish a more commercial task.
If you have a hobby of making Fine Art Landscape images and thinking about becoming more commercially viable, it's simply a matter of clearing the confusion and getting out and making the images with that same magic you have in one genre and include it in another genre.
