help! Hi! I am working on my web site; I need help with you about the photographs that I want to put on my web site. I want to know what kind of photographs mostly sell on web site. And do you sell photographs as print or print on glass frames? What print size do you sell? I have interest in all forms of photography arts but I enjoy doing fine arts, nature, travel and abstract. Do abstract photographs have power to sell? I am thinking about 4 print sizes to be put for sale. I want to sell as 203mm (8”) x 254mm (10”) 203mm (8”) x 304mm (12”) 254mm (10”) x 304mm (12”) 279mm (11”) x 356mm (14”) What price do I put for my prints, or I put price as individually different as photographs? And is it better to sell from web site or by gallery? I can able to sell it by local gallery and the gallery will pay me around US$ 100 for one photograph but the showcase of my photographs will only for about 1 week to 2 month and that’s it? And the entire viewers are mostly local and about 500 to 2000 visitor. As for other hand I can go around the world by web and I can get more visitors and less sell and the showcase will be forever. (till the web hosting company get paid) What you say about it? I use 35mm and some digital, and I am amateur want to go for professional. See my few photographs samples at: http://www.flickr.com/photos/gauravdhwajkhadka/ Need good helpful suggestion and comments to make my way to professional. Thank you and God bless, Gaurav Dhwaj Khadka

Hi Gaurav, I personally sell nature photography by website (www.scrattyphotography.com), though I know those who sell by gallery, so both are good options, though I wouldn't really be able to compare personally. I think there are buyers for every type of photography, and I don't see why abstract would be any exception. I know that one type that sells big is people photography (like people waling in a park or baby shots), but I'm not into that. I think that you should charge $25 to $70 for unframed prints, and maybe $100 to $300 for framed prints. Ariel

By the way, I'd like to point out that although it's possible for millions to see your work if it's online, it takes a long time and lots of work before you'll even get up to what you would in a local gallery. If the gallery is willing to sell your work, I suggest you do take them up on it (if it's a good deal) and see how your work sells before trying online.
