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.

Four strategies for selling more photographic prints

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.

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.
