Selling prints in the digital era
SInce so many have been having issues with selling prints, i have to ask
What does anyone expect? Many on here sell prints through the webz.. but in honesty is it worth the hassle?
Sure some charge 400$ for an 8x10 print of a barn, but when i can go online to say fineartamerica, and get a barn photo fully framed for 180$ that is 30x24...
DO you feel there really is a chance at selling prints?
To make it worse look on ebay.. People selling digital prints of famous photos, scans of negatives they bought online, even a few taking screencaps of famous movies and selling photos.. for under 50$... Think there is a market for a real print?

I refuse to sell ANY ART!
I sold 4 pieces 26 years ago
I lost my set
I make ART for my soul
not yours

Agreed. Sell “commodity” prints and forget selling Art with a capital A.

I had a friend who was a very successful commercial photographer. He believed that his commercial work fed the family and his Art fed his soul. It was that balance that keeps you from selling out....
