Photography Best way to selling prints?

[nataliaflejszar&Photo]

Hello guys
I need to find a good way to selling prints and make money on my photographs (macro, landscapes ...)
Do you know good websites for selling prints internationally?

Hello nataliaflejszar&Photo . While this is good topic. Its hard to say. You can try to put images on:

Shutterstock
Gettyimages

This are the biggest photo stock companies in the world. But, you need have the hundred of thousands of good images to earn some decent amount of money.

Regarding prints, try amazon shop, I don't know if it will work. I think nowadays the photography market is over saturated, and it's very hard to earn money from it, unless you really really good and very professional.

It's nice to make money from your hobby, but that is not something that you can do for living, for most of us I'm sure. Try also Facebook shop, I'm not sure how reliable they are.

The best advice what I can give is, go to your local shops, show them your portfolio and ask if they want some canvases or prints inside of their shop. That's good way to attract clients and show your images.

I tried to sell some of my pictures on Shutterstock but that's bullshit for normal macro / landscape pictures. The most customers of such platforms are bigger media agencies or companies who buys packages of 500 or more pictures and you just get 0,25€ for a copy. I earned 6,25€ in half a year even if I think that I uploaded some really high quality shots.

I don't have a recipe for success... unfortunately.

I heard a story, a guy sold his photo on shutterstock for couple of cents, and the company who purchased the photo, made some good money. The photo was related to Christmas. And the photographer tried to sued the company. But yes, there is nothing you ca do. Unless you have private clients who wish to purchase prints exceptionally from you.
