This is based on my experience working at markets and in “painting and sculpture” galleries. I have heard of exclusively photographic galleries (collaborative- not just for a single photographer) which are an easier market but I am yet to find one in Melbourne. DISCLAIMER: The opinions presented in this journal are not a substitute for professional advice and are based on analogical evidence Things that I have found help to sell photography are: / 1) Taking a strikingly lucky, creative and one off image that others would struggle to replicate / 2) Presenting your photos in an original way / 3) Providing support material to the seller about the image and yourself / 4) Signing the image and providing info on the back / 5) Having a variety of photos available for sale / 6) Only having one copy of each image on display Things I have found detract from selling photography / 1) Inferior or unsuitable framing or packaging / 2) You are selling a whole bunch of your images and most of them look similar- or more so, look like you took them all on the same day / 3) No information about the image is available / 4) No image about the photographer is available / 5) I hate to say it but photographers with birthdates in the 1980s should consider omitting this information from their biography because youth = inexperience in the minds of some buyers. The exception seems to be works using a lot of photomanipulation. / 6) Damaged prints or packaging / 7) And it might have seemed the most obvious point but images that are not interesting, or that do not fufil a decorative need There are many ways of presentaion your images including: / 1) Loose prints or posters / 2) Matted prints (and whether to sign the image or the mat) / 3) Canvas Prints / 4) Framed Prints / 5) Putting your images on other products (tastefully) Generally speaking, bad presentation will doom the sale of even the most amazing photograph and that the more creative and unusual your presentation, the more attention you and your work will recieve. Who has some other tips?

Hello Mystery World! We’ve knocked 15% off the price of all Framed and Canvas Prints for seven whole days.

So with Pete at the wheel of a bus that doesn’t exist, we’ve set off on a seven day journey around the world to bring this excellent offer to all of you. (ends August 27 – Convert To Your Time) Thanks to the power of the internet, you don’t have to head to the bus stop to meet us, you just have to choose a lovely print, the 15% has ALREADY BEEN TAKEN OFF, the price you see is freshly discounted. And Holy Yellow Submarines do we have some incredible artwork for you to thumb through. Here are a few of my favourites: You can always head straight for the featured art, which is overflowing with excellence. And of course the people’s choice popular section. And we also have a plethora of images of: / landscapes, who doesn’t appreciate a landscape I ask you? / lovely lovely flowers, / music related mayhem, / heaps of animals perhaps even a tibetan fox, / abstract craziness / Paris, because it’s pretty / dogs and their eternal enemies and all time internet favourite / cats. And probably everything in between, so get searching. You’ve got a week. In case you wondered how these frames and canvases look in the wild, here are some dandy pixels. Get clearing that wallspace.

Hi everyone, Well, we spent a long day in th…
Hi everyone, Well, we spent a long day in the studio today hanging paintings and it’s so satisfying to finally have this all done now. It feels great, more spacious and more like a real gallery. We’ve had the hanging system lying on the floor of the studio for well over a year now, and never got round to actually putting it up, so I thought I’d share a couple of pics with you guys!! I don’t think I’ve ever mentioned it before, but I have lots of original paintings for sale, if anyone is ever interested in the original work, give me a yell and we can talk turkey :) I have lots and lots that are unframed too and you can’t see ‘em here .. so let me know if you see something you like in my portfolio and would like the original
