Hi Robert,

New to the world of photography sales and like yourself, have been trying to find a

good price point.

One method which I've been told is to figure what it has cost you to produce your

print. Ie, hours worked on the photox$rate, cost of your camera gear, gas/fuel, food,

film/development, followup retouching, printing, and matting/displaying.

The pricing is more a factor of the percieved value and usefullness to the client. The

fame of the photographer is only important if the buyer is interested in displaying it

at his/her place of business or home for prestige. The strength of your work and the

impact on the buyer is normally what is important.

The post about $1/sq-inch may be a good "ballpark" to start from. Visit luminous-

landscape.com. Alot of great prints and the photographer is highly experienced. The

price for the work, however, is reasonable.

*smiles* And yes, those are matted. Matting is important because it is part of the

presentation of your work. Matting helps to prevent damage to the photo/print itself

and reflects upon you as a photographer and on your feelings about your product.

Btw, do you have an online website where some of your work is on display?
