Is photography distinct enough to earn the big bucks or is that market limited to fine art and the paintbrush?
Discussion revolved around Len's quote:
This may be true if you hope for the big $$$$$ or if Gallery View is your only goal. But I don't necessarily see the replicability of photography as a disadvantage. My goal with my artwork isn't to be elite but it is to bring out a bit of light in the world. To me, the more people that consume my art, the better. There is so much angst in imagery throughout the world, and I feel our very souls are being affected- depression and anxiety are household words, often with dire results. We all need a little more light and hope going around. That said, I don't plan on doing limited edition prints, but possibly books would be a better outlet. I also plan on continuing with the outlet of art for hospitals.
How to price your prints: This is something you should think about beforehand- you don't want to be approached and be unprepared with what to say.
And again like any sustainable prospect NETWORKING is KEY! Know the market, know the system and have realistic expectations. Be prepared- any success in any field is typically A LOT OF WORK.
