After many years at agencies though, I honestly wonder how on earth they'd divvy it up. Sure, directors and actors do a lot for each ad, and sound is hugely important. But there wouldn't be an ad if creatives didn't write it. ANd by extension, panners who planned it and account execs who convinced the client to do it, but since the latter usually drives a porche I'm sure they're getting paid handsomly. ;) (j/k) I’ve wanted ‘my share’ ever since I began working in the ad industry, surprised that there isn’t such a thing at first.

I though about the possibility of creating with some other photographers an Ad Agency or teaming up with other creatives to build up something. It went south (for the moment) because of the fact that photographers (me included) seem to be unable to team up because they are strongly independent and want to stay independent. When teaming up with other photographers, I always felt it. To be, and stay creative, photographers seem automatically to disrupt unconsciously any teaming-up procedure. Photographers seem to be, and seem to want to stay, lonely creatives. Speaking about the futur of photography, it's interesting to have a look at acclaimed British photographer Sean Ellis new movie : Cashback : http://www.cashbackthemovie.com/ It just hit European theaters and I strongly hope it will come to the US. It's a movie about love AND it is probably a good vision about the futur of our profession. It answers the question : what and how will photographers work in the futur. Looking at how Sean uses his skills, I was really impressed. Cheers. Great post.
