Your one stop shop for everything photo-video
© Kristian Gillies/100 for the Ocean 2023Can you do good by making or buying art? Of course you can. If you’d like to support ocean conservation and some fantastic photographers, then you’re going to love 100 for the Ocean.
This initiative unites 100 world-class photographers who have joined forces to contribute to marine life research and conservation. During May 2023, you’ll be able to buy their fine art prints at only $100, with 100% of profits going to ocean research and advocacy charities.
If you’re looking for new ways and places to sell your prints, you might actually want to go to an old place, one you may have forgotten. Yup, I’m talking about Flickr, which could soon allow photographers to sell their prints directly to their customers.
That’s right, Flickr has launched a printing service that’s different that the one we’ve already seen (and tested). From now on, users will be able to order prints not only of their own photos, but also buy them from other photographers on the platform. There are a few catches for now, so let’s see how it works and what the potential obstacles are.
No matter if you want to sell or gift your photos, or want to hang them on your own walls, there are some things to take into consideration before printing them. However, there are things many of us overlook when we just start printing our work. With his new video, Evan Ranft comes to the rescue. He tells you about four rookie mistakes that could make your prints look bad. But more importantly, he teaches you how to avoid them and make the best out of your printed photos.
If you’re like me, you largely prefer matte prints over glossy ones. And if you use an instant camera, you’ll get the super-shiny prints that you wish were matte.
Dave Knop a.k.a. knoptop will help you to make your wish come true. He suggests three methods for mattifying your shiny polaroid prints, with one of them being pretty unordinary. And as a bonus, and I’ll also suggest one of my own ideas.
One of the ways to earn money through photography is by selling your prints. This especially goes for those of us who don’t photograph people and events, but rather landscapes, nature, cityscapes, and the like. But selling prints may not be as easy as it sounds. In this video, Adam Karnacz of First Man Photography reveals some uncomfortable truths about it, but also suggests some solutions for selling more of your prints in the future.
Photography is a form of art, and art was never meant to live solely inside a computer screen. Sure, your clients may be excited about getting that perfect profile-pic-worthy shot, but nothing truly brings a photograph to life like framed prints and canvases.
Having beautiful prints adorning their home’s walls benefits clients by serving as constant reminders of the joy they felt on the day of their shoot, but it can be equally as beneficial for the person behind the lens. Selling photo prints can lead to a huge leap in a photographer’s revenue while simultaneously showing off their skill and professionalism to potential future clients. Plus, photo prints serve as a daily reminder of you and your services, making your clients more likely to head your way for their future photo needs.
Dr. Jane Goodall is one of many amazing women I admire and find inspiring. And if you’re like me, you’ll want to check out Vital Impacts’ charity print sale. It gives you a chance to buy a print from 100 amazing photographers, including Dr. Goodall. And the best thing is, if you buy the prints, you support a number of conservation charities.
Google Photos seems to be serious about its printing service. After relaunching it in 2019 and introducing a test subscription in 2020, Google Photos has now expanded its services even further. You can order as many prints as you like, choose from a bunch of options, and have them all delivered straight to your door.
Choosing nature photography prints to complement your home décor can be one of the most rewarding aspects of decorating, creating a calming atmosphere and making your home interior more inviting and beautiful.
It can also be somewhat challenging, and unless you are an interior designer or art curator, searching for art pieces and blending them into your home may seem like somewhat of a mystery.
Landscape photography is one of those genres that very few photographers tend to shoot professionally. Sure, there are a lot of professional landscape photographers out there, but when you compare that to portraits or weddings, there really ain’t all that many at all. Partly it’s down to not knowing what to sell, but it’s also not knowing how to sell it or price it.
In this video, landscape photographer Nigel Danson goes over the prints he’s sold over the last couple of years to see which have sold the most (and the least) to try and figure out why. He also talks about how he prices his prints in order to get a price that makes it worth his time but also provides good value to the customer.
