I am interested in printing and selling mounted photos of mine at craft shows etc. What are fair prices for this?

£1 would be fair or £10 or £100

It depends on too many factors such as subject matter, size, type of print, are you framing them, are you matting them, what sort of market/show, what sort of customers etc etc etc

I have sold 11×14 matted for prices ranging from £20 to £200
and same size fully framed from 50 to 800.

If this is your first time (obviously is) then pitch the prices fairly low (i.e. cost +50%).

Can you make some decent money selling digital photos on ebay and if so how?

I didn’t find any evidence of people making money selling photos on ebay. You may want to consider selling on art related websites such as etsy.com or blujay.com. No matter what, though, it will take a lot of creative advertising to get noticed. Best of luck to you!

I do photography and I was thinking about selling prints online, but people can always copy and paste the picture or print it out on photo paper for free… How do I stop that?
Or maybe you can suggest other ways to sell

You should create a website.

There is also a way when you make your website that wont let people copy and paste , because I tried it on someones website before.

Or maybe you can frame the pictures and sell them .

good luck =]

Is there a good site for selling photos I’ve taken. I’m looking for places that buy for postcards, puzzles, calendars etc. I have a lot of great photos but would like to try selling them.

I have taken many photos of graffiti art that I would like to frame and sell. Being an artist myself, I respect any and all artists rights, however I do not know the artists and I have no way of contacting for permission. What are the laws concerning sale of photos of publicly viewable graffiti art? Seems the law may be a little fuzzy in this area…

Graffiti is absolutely, undeniably, completely, utterly, totally and irrefutably granted sovereign federal copyright protection under USC Title 17 Section 101+.

Using graffiti images in your pictures without express written consent from the copyright holder, is an absolute violation of federal law, and exposes you to catastrophic liability, as follows:

– Cost to defend and win a copyright lawsuit: $500,000 (avg)

– Cost to defend and lose a copyright lawsuit: $500,000 (avg) + up to $150,000 (statutory), or more

– Cost to defend and settle a copyright action: $8,000 to $15,000 (avg), per violation

– Criminal penalties that can be imposed by the government: Up to 5 years in prison and $250,000 fine (first offense)

The bigger question everyone here should be asking is, why WOULDN’T the graffiti artist sue you?

Because they "might be prosecuted for a misdemeanor crime?"

Copyright is a federal issue. And under federal law, the copyright holder could seek statutory damages of up to $150,000, without proving that you caused them ANY actual damage. Additionally, if they win… you have to pay for their legal fees and courts costs.

They could walk away with 100’s of thousands of dollars of your money.

So, thinking a $200 fine for committing a misdemeanor is a "deterrent?" Umm. Unlikely.

A lawyer would take the case, for free… if nothing else, he/she is going to get tremendous publicity out of it…

Let alone the fact that, IF YOU LOSE THE CASE, YOU HAVE TO PAY THE GRAFFITI ARTIST’S LEGAL BILLS.

Someone wrote that you can "do anything you want with pictures of statues, because they’re outside."

I don’t mean to sound rude… but this statement is completely, and totally wrong. Statues, models and virtually all three-dimensional works of art are absolutely copyrightable. And taking photographs of those statues, without consent of the copyright holder is violating that holder’s exclusive rights of derivative creation (USC Title 17, Sections 101 – 173)

Buildings can also be copyrightable, in various circumstances.

Any art that is ON the building is absolutely copyrightable.

Additionally, "public domain" does not mean "outdoors." Public domain is currently defined as a work that has existed beyond its term of copyright protection… which is currently defined as the life of the artist, plus 70 years.

Thus, the only way graffiti could absolutely be irrefutably defined "public domain," is if it was painted on the wall before 1964.

So to close…

You absolutely MUST gain permission from the artist, before you incorporate their images, in your works. Period.

Hope this helps…

I have some great photos that I think would be great for greeting cards or maybe a calendar, but I have no idea how I could go about selling them to companies. Any hints?

Get a hold of a book called Photographer’s Market 2007.

It’s a gold mine of info on just what you’re thinking of doing.

I would like to sell my photos on the internet. Are there any websites where I can sell photos without a monthly subscription fee to the website or a fee-per-photo charge? Thanks in advance.

just give me an estimate…..i’m trying to see how this works…..when do you break even?
I know it takes more than money to sell photos. I know you have to have talent too but yeah.

I would think that a FF camera with an excellent f/2.8 zoom would be a minimum.

I’ve never sold to a top tier magazine but my Canon 5D and lenses probably cost me $4000 over the years buying one lens at a time when I had the money. (I had my lenses years before I had my 5D.)

I always buy used from Adorama, KEH and eBay. That has saved me quite a bit of money over the years.

Canon 5D
20mm f/2.8
50mm f/1.4
135mm f/2
24-70mm f/2.8
300mm f/4

That’s what I have.

Interesting question. Congratulations, it has been starred.

sorry its only audio. Hopefully this will capture a few people looking for a nineties pop hit.

The album is “pictures of starving children sell records”, which is a concept album criticising the Live Aid performance. It was seen by Chumbawamba as a publicity stunt to sell the records of participating artists and had the effect of dislocating the west’s responsibility for the under-development of the third world and instead gave the illusion to contributors that they were not at fault, the system is not at fault, and that by giving their ten dollars(or pounds, I guess) to charity they are free from blame for the suffering of the world.
