QUESTION: mmm well I like to photography people and objects.
Answer Amy,
It's tough to answer what your are asking. Successful photographers (commercial) do it full time. They have a specific niche that they shoot. If you are interested in learning more about commercial photography you might try looking at the APAnational.com website or ASMP in your local area.
