conversation: User (adrenalineeagle): "I work in the TV/Film industry and am paid via diffrent TV shows payroll services. I want to start shooting stock footage on the side to bring in additional money. So, if I am going on vacation, can I shoot stock footage on that vacation to upload to the stock websites for sale, then write off the trip on my personal taxes? What would I claim this as? How dangerous would this be? Thanks!"
