I am afraid you all don't have enough money to buy my work, decorator or not...
But you can sure try hard. Make me an offer. *L*

No doubt, Tim. I don't have enough money to buy my own work.
Personally, I love decorators who sell my work. They take a smaller percentage than the galleries I've dealt with and they do the leg work. Perfect! Has anyone on here said that they wouldn't sell to decorators?

Yup.
Yes

Let me re-phrase my question. Who out there in the online world who happens to be reading this thread and makes more than 50% of their annual income from photography would not sell their work to designers? I suspect the numbers are low. The idea of selling only to discriminating collectors and making a healthy living is elusive at best for most photographers. Sure, someone will chime in with a few names of famous photographers who do very well purely with high end collectors paying their mortgage but in all honesty, if the kids are hungry, are you still not willing to sell to designers? I doubt it, unless you had already planned a hunger strike/crash diet for some other reason.

Sure. I do it. Because I never know who might walk in into his shop and purchase my product.
A joiner doesn't care who is going to purchase his handmade table or closet.
As long as the customers pay cash the can get whatever they want. I really don't care if they will frame the print or just nail it to their wall - I'll never see it again.
For me photography is art and crafts and a business. For the decorator it is a high priced commodity. The more he sells the better for me.
Simple as that.
I would sell to a decorator, as well. A skilled decorator would choose location, a mat and a frame that would compliment my work...making for a nice presentation.
It's a good thing for them, and for me.
