I recently made all my small (4x5, 4x6) prints $1, so that people can try an almost-free sample before they spend a lot.
For the enlargements, I'm using a formula of (approximately) inches wide by 12-inch length, e.g. an 8x12 is currently $8, I think a 16x20 would be $32. If people suddenly start snapping them up, maybe I'll raise the price, but I'm standing by waiting for a few nibbles right now.
I think there are two distinct markets for photos among private individuals; those who are looking for something nice and inexpensive to decorate their walls (e.g. college students, family, and anyone making less than $20/hour), and people who can afford to appreciate and "collect" fine art, and will pay orders-of-magnitude higher prices for exceptional and limited-edition works printed by the artist.
Since I am in no way involved in the actual print production, and my stuff seems neither desirably rare nor esthetically exceptional, I've decided I should market primarily to the former group ... of course you're all welcome to buy some prints and change my mind! |
