Did You Ever Try Selling Your Images?
After spending a significant amount of time taking pictures,
and accumulating a large library of images, it can be a daunting
task looking for a way to sell your work.
With the right approach and a vast amount of hard work you soon
may see a return for all the hours spent outdoors.
One of the easiest ways to begin with is holding a local gallery
in your town hall, inviting all your family, friends, and
especially local businesses.
This first gallery can be used as a learning point. The place
where you make mistakes, but you should learn from them. Good
friends will understand or even make fun at your mistakes, but
will know it's the start of a new business.
When selling prints in a gallery don't make unnecessary claims
about the durability of your prints. Give advice on how to take
care of the prints, such as: don't store them in humid
conditions or don't expose them to direct sunlight. Try to print
on good quality paper.
Choose your time carefully when holding your first exhibition.
Don't hold it in early January; most people spend a lot of money
over Christmas and don't like spending too much in the new year.
Pick a time where there's a lot of visitors coming to your town.
Local images should sell well with tourists. Don't try selling
an image that you think is just "OK". If an image isn't good
enough to hang on your own wall at home,
it is not good enough
to be exposed to the public.
There are plenty of other ways to sell your photography. Stock
Agencies require a minimum submission of 500 - 1000 images, and
regular submissions thereafter, with very low returns. Sometimes
it's better to go it alone promoting your own work, especially
if you've got the drive to become a salesperson. And no better
place to start than in your local town with your first
exhibition.
After getting the feel for exhibits, there is no reason why you
can't go to other towns or cities. Galleries all over the world
are always looking for new upcoming photographers.
There are no rules to what makes a picture sell. Sometimes
having them in the right place at the right time can attract a
client or customer. Images are used throughout the world to sell
products and ideas, and there's no better place to start than
with your local community.
If your pictures are good enough to be entered in competitions,
or hang at home on the wall, they are certainly good enough to
sell.
