My daughter Clare has talked me into putting some of my photographs on a Artfinder, a fine art photographers and artist sales site.

I am amazed at some of the picture up there and even more so, some are very poor and selling for over £1000! I think the market for photographers is mostly in USA rather than UK. What do our members think? If you are interested see what I am doing on the link above!


Graham this is very interesting. My wife has pestered me for ages to sell my Images...especially the IR. One of the obstacles for me has always been the printing and dispatching. I just didn't want to become a shopkeeeper

How does the printing and supply of the purchased print happen on this site? Will have read of the website but suffering chest infection at moment and not concentrating very well.

I looked at a site sometime ago, where you uploaded your images in high res and THEY organised the printing and delivery from approved print houses.

Edit...just read some of their site info.

I confess the idea of having to 'do the work to order' is a little unappealing.
Having spent many years being at others beck and call, I would prefer to delegate...even at the loss of some income. I was once advised..."you need to make your money while you are sleep" . This sites global market can take orders while you sleep ......but you still have to get up, print, package and despatch. If you are successful ...you are working full time again! If you are not very successful ....why bother?
Maybe that's a jaundiced view fuelled by my current malady. Lol
But I am interested in others views about the chore of producing and despatching....after marketing is done.
