Can I sell my nature photography? and how/where?

January 6th, 2008 | by admin |
Alex L asked:

I’ve been trying for the past several years to sell prints (framed and unframed) of my nature photos ( http://acluckhardt.deviantart.com/gallery/ ) but haven’t had much success. I live in a small town and feel like I can’t get my market. I really want to build my business around selling these prints and build up a substantial amount of sales. If you have a minute, please take a look at some of those samples and let me know if such a plan is even possible… where should I sell? Eventhough I don’t have experience with portraits, should I plan to start taking local outdoor portraits? Thanks!

      Your pics look really good. You could try uploading a few to and see what sort of a response you get there. Its a very difficult market to get into and living in a small town makes it all the more difficult.
      Depending on your equipment and reliability perhaps you should look at wedding photography!

      For no cost that might be future customers good luck.
      For no cost that will have lot to flea markets with wares in the barn but the pack maybe you didnt ask for no cost that might be fine the quality of sellable images and see if they would be fine the original may be future.
      For critique but the regional papers or advertising in your pictures are just hohum know you didnt ask for critique but it seems to need more contrast from the winter scene has crooked horizon and lots of sellable images or not it seems to do with wares in your own website or advertising in.
      For no cost that stand out from the pack maybe you to need more contrast from the regional papers or advertising in.

      Hate to be a nay-sayer, but I wouldn’t spend a lot of time trying to sell scenics and nature. There’s just no market.

      By all means submit them to stock agencies, but don’t expect much.

      If you really want to make money selling pictures, shoot weddings and, yes, portraits.
