my perfect career / my idol

my perfect career would mimic larry sultan's: he is primarily known as a fine artist, has shown in many major museums and galleries and his work has a cultural permanence and resonance that few achieve. the kicker is that along with his fine art work he is commercial and evocative enough to shoot spectacular choice fashion/portrait campaigns such as the latest from bottega veneta. it'd be different if he were known for commercial work and did fine art on the side but what i love and respect is that he does it in reverse! please revel with me in the ideal crossover career. i can only hope that one day i'm lucky enough to follow in a modicum of his footsteps. here is one of my favorite images from the campaign:
