Sell my photography

Absolutely 100% done! Last night I had a shoot where I was selling direct to the public – shoot, preview on laptop, choose prints and hand over cash.

I came away with a small wodge of real cash at the end of it, and a bunch of print orders to start processing.

If this isn’t selling my photography, I don’t know what is!

I loved every minute of it, despite not finishing until about 1am and then starting the 70-minute drive home. The people I worked with were lovely… some just wanted a quick snap and to get out of there, but others (like those pictured) went through a few poses and had some nice results.

4 years expeirience, i should be able to

I was approached today about doing a photo shoot for a friend. She would like to have some pictures taken for her boyfriend who will be away for six months.

I quoted her $120 for 2-3 poses, 5o frames minimum, and (4) 5”x7” prints, with the option to upgrade paper types for extra. Prints can be ordered for $1 for a set of four wallets, 4”x6” for $0.50, 5”x7” for $1.50, 8”x10” for $2.50, and 11”x14” for $8.00. Touch ups and blemish removal are no additional charge.

What do ya’ll think? While I do not want to undersell myself, I felt that these prices were fair. I have seen some people sell an 8”x10” for $10-$15 dollars. Personally, I am not comfortable with that as I KNOW that I have sent off for one for around $1.50. I am also unsure of selling her a cd with all the images on it. What would one charge for something like that?

ugh im a damn good photographer but dont know where to start selling it at

I am happy to report that I feel good about the results of last weekend’s graduation. As always, every time I pick up my camera, I learn something new! The pictures are processed and ready to be burned to a CD and be given to the school, with a release giving permission to do what they will with the pictures. I have chosen at this point to just give them a CD and let them determine where and how to handle getting the pictures printed.

Oh, and I got PAID!!! Yipiiee!

Another shoot tomorrow!

Well, it seems that I have a paying gig! A small school asked me to shoot photos of their grads receiving their diplomas. I am a bit concerned as it will be an outdoor grad, and the lighting and such will be a bit more unpredictable. I will let ya’ll know how it goes!

I have a paid job for a magazine next week. How exciting!
