    Just curious but what the most you have ever sold a B&W Landscape print for?

    Topic title says it all really but it would also be useful to know what the actual image size was and the method of presentation such as framed with glass or mounted to dibond etc.
    I'm curious becasue I've just seen a 100cm X 100cm print sold for $2750 which I thought was quite high but maybe I'm wrong since I never tried to sell images that big.

    Over $8,000 for one image, ~32X40". Printing done by client who is a billionaire.

    Funny, perhaps: you should ask for the least sale. Mine, a cover and inside photo for syndicated Parade Magazine. Considering its distribution, I made squat for it. There's a story there because Joe Rosenthal was the picture editor at the time. (LF on-topic!) Inside page image.

    OTOH, I have gifted lots of prints, the latest to a gallery owner in Oxford England for his sister who visited this site near my home.

    its funny that you say you got squat for it
    when i worked for a newspaper, i made a photograph of the city
    that i was paid $50 for, it was a view that no one had taken before &c ...
    the paper turned around and syndicated it, rented it out to the city,
    and it was on every bus, bus shelter, billboard &c for months and months,
    they probably made 10s of thousands off of it in about 6months.

    A standard rate of $50 for a 10x14 or 12x16 print in a 16x20 frame in a local arts & crafts fair. It's more of a community service than a business.

    Occasionally I will place an ad in the creative services section of my local Craigslist offering a large, framed custom B&W Portrait shot with an 8x10 camera
    - if you have to ask the price..you cannot afford it!

    I have no idea what I'd charge as no one has ever asked

    the ad was just kind of to poke fun at all those $125 portrait ads..but hell..if someone took me up on it
