[QUOTE="ohkphoto, post: 240485, member: 1573"] I'm just going to throw this out there . . . with SO much photography out there and so much of it just being given away, it almost behooves the photographer to go in the opposite direction . . . make your work a little less accessible and available. Consider offering Limited Edition prints for a limited time only . . . then retire the image and make it available for viewing online only. You know the feeling . . . when you can't have something, you suddenly want it. Remember that people buy images based on emotions. I had one of my Bosque prints (matted and framed) hanging in the lobby of a posh hair salon/spa . . . a woman visited regularly and would always just stare at the photo while she was waiting. Then one day she announced, "I don't know what it is about that picture, but I've got to have it." . . . a nice $300 profit for me. You've got to get creative about how you can make money with your images . . . going along with the masses is not going to do it. [/QUOTE]
