When i was little (prob 20 years ago.. lol), i was moved to tears by a Tv Commercial. It's about family, although i can't remember the full details, i do remember, it "touched" me. It make me cry a little, make me smile, and it stays in my heart.
19 years later, i pick up photography, not professionally, just to create something that i like, to turn my imaginary into a real picture, to push the boundaries of what i can and can't do, and the main aim, i want to "touch" ppl, to see the smile, the gratitude, the appreciation from them... That's my ultimate motivation.![]()

I think looking back after awhile, I tend to feel that we are like a production line...born...breed...die.
The desire now is to stand out from the crowd and be counted. Today I do something different. Today I ...![]()
er, i think the TS asked what's the motivation of working photographers not hobbyists.
Very nice motivation indeed... when times get harder, you will always need to recall back these motivations and it should helps you realise that sometimes life isn't perfect.

FYI, i am not just a hobbyists, i am an aspiring fashion photographer. The goal, ain't easy. But its the motivation that keeps me going.![]()
all motivation(s) is a subset of $. Thanks for the chuckle
There are things that are right and things that are no so right and there are things that require you to ignore or do nothing.
If u know what I mean.

I dun quite agree.... there may be other factors like wanting to right a social injustice through this job. $ may be a subset or a means to this end and not the final destination.
