sell my photographs

A woman from out of town came into the shop and looked around for a while. Her & her husband had just got in the car to go for a drive that morning and ended up in Downtown Paris. She bought a purse & left. Later she came back with her husband and while looking around he looked at one of my photographs (that wasn’t really for sale…just out because it was one I liked). No one has ever asked about my stuff so I was taken back when he asked “how much for this one??” I ended up telling him $120 & he bought it!! It was a photo that I took on an old back road when I was still taking photography classes!!

I’d like to learn how I can sell my nature photographs as photos or greeting cards – online or through retail.

Technically I have already done this. But both times I have sold a photograph it was of the Eiffel Tower…and anyone will by that picture! I want to sale something more original I guess….

sell my photography

has been more than just a hobby of mine; it has become throughout the years a passion. I have entered several contests and have won on occasion. Would like to make money at this someday; however, I haven’t a clue where to start. Does anyone have some ideas to begin???

Through recent discovery, I have found the internet to be a plethora of income potential. Photographs can be an extension of one’s life, by recognizing those small treasures all around you. Demanding attention to a moment of time stood still. I have sold pieces to individuals in the past. I have used my photos for gifts and illustrations for my book. I believe that with the knowledge of pricing and demand, I would like to move to the next step in my photography career. And if nothing else, the satisfaction of putting these images to use is gift enough for me.

I always wanted to see my work in print so I joined fotoLibra and they sold two of my pictures in six months. So I got a job with them and I’m now working for them!
So of course I’m biased, but it was the best and easiest way for me to get into the pro picture market.

So, I started a public album on Flickr. http://www.flickr.com/photos/kkmo9/

I’m not a professional artist, by any means, but I take decent pictures. Some of them are definitly sale worthy. I would love to be able to get some of them out there to sell. I teach for a living, so this is for love.

My goals here on 43 things is to get my photographs out there in the world. I want people to see my face. I take great pictures and I hope you all enjoy them enough to buy them considering this is my living! if you would like to buy a picture just let me know.
