Salability

[joeb]

Well, photography is one of my hobbies and some of my pictures seem quite nice. In fact it really impressed my friends and family, so I\'m kinda thinking about the possibility of perhaps selling some of my work.

And there\'s the problem, is it good enough to sell in the first place, and if so, what price range should I be looking at, how do I do this at all?

I\'m hoping some of you fellas can give me some advice about this.


here\'s an example of my pictures (downscaled and severely quality reduced, ofcourse).

firstly, what cam are you using joe?

[joeb]

still that s3500 fujifilm. I know it isn\'t a pro camera in any way, heck, it\'s pretty mediocre. (although great bang for the buck).

At any rate I don\'t expect do become rich by this or anything. It\'s more like if someone likes what he sees, they can buy the photo. That also means I remove any copies of it, so it\'s truly one-of-a-kind.

Perhaps you should check some proffesional sites about photography. Your pic looks good. Maybe you can post a few more?

The problem is quality or skill of the photographer. The problem is networking.

You need to get in with a really good shop right off the bat.

To do this, you need to mount it and make it look professional. Once you do those, one of two things will happen.

1.) The artwork will sit there and you\'ll be out some money for the mounting (or mounting supplies).

2.) The artwork will sell and you\'ll gain notoreity.


What you will need is to make a very very very fancy signature and make prints of the pictures. I.E. Begin with only 5 prints each and then number them. 1/5, 2/5, 3/5, 4/5, 5/5 ...

Thanks for the advice pun. I\'ll have a look at it.

Here\'s another example of my images. Reduced size and quality.
