And if you're doing art (broadly), rather than commercial work, should you be considering any audience other than yourself?

Well that is a whole diary ;-)

It is all art. The story depends on you if the audience is zero (just yourself), and also depends on you if the audience is one million. I don't see how the money comes into it.

But my argument depends on your acceptance of the idea that the framing of the picture from the very start is a distortion or manipulation, let alone any manipulation that would be 'emotion recollected in tranquillity'

Looking at the scene is a distortion and a manipulation, if mostly an unconscious one, never mind pointing a camera at it on top of that.

And here we enter the Russian Doll zone. I absolutely agree. The selected matrix is always a compromise.
