Hi
I've never really considered myself a photographer and certaily not a professional. However, some of my images have been used commercially and I did a friends wedding once.
For years, people suggested that I should sell my work but I did nothing about it. Recently, I was invited to display my photos for sale on a website of a customer of mine so decided it was about time I tried.
The business side of things isn't an issue as I run businesses for a living but I would like some suggestions on other issues as I am about to attend a craft fair soon which will be my first event where my images will be on sale.
Firstly, I'm looking for suggestions as to where to get a quality but value for money printing of my images. I got some done at pics2posters but they took ages and kept fobbing me off. It took 3 weeks eventually from what should be a 5 day service.
My images are 30cm x 40cm in a quality double mount which I'm quite pleased with. I've priced them at £19.95 plus P&P. From what I've seen it seems to be cheap but I want to gauge the reaction before putting the price up.
I have the resources to build a website but until I get the time to do it, how successful are the photo hosting websites that allow users to purchase the prints and which should I look at?
Finally, some of my images are available on the following link. I'd be interested as to any comments good or bad.
