Trained for layout and with an eye for detail, Graphic Designers can be (and should be) very good Photographers. Composition, balance, colour and precision are components of both professions. Unfortunately, it doesn’t really work the other way. I’ve yet to see a Photographer work InDesign or Illustrator, pagenate a brochure or design an identity scheme. That said, much of branding is about visual metaphor and a Photographer would be a great attribute in a client creative workshop – articulate our Corporation as a picture…..!

Gregg,
that’s true, and tht’s how i explored my talent in photography since i am a graphic designer.
However, digital art is also one of my favorite artwork which i am lately working on

Graphic designers make good painters too. Same logic, composition, color, message (focal points), idea development…
Good to see us branching out mate, but you always did shoot great photos.
