Selling photographs?

[jagdpanther]

I know a couple of people, aswell as your good selves, that enjoy photography, but also manage to sell their photos on various websites.

I was wondering how would someone go about doing this???

I was at Harewood recently taking photos of the proceedings and Im really proud of my efforts of my first motorsport event with the new camera and I would love to continue and improve also, I would be interested in offering them on the market, but as the Harewood official snappers are Whatnonegatives, how would I go about doing it?

Would I need to seek permission before selling?

Thanks in advance

Putting aside the permission thing for a moment (others know more about this than me, but selling photos from private ground such as racetracks/stately homes etc can be problematic)

The best way is a site like www.Photobox.co.uk who give you free space, you set the cost (and they take a small cut)

Many of us have stuff for sale on their site as the results never dissapoint the customer.

Here's mine for example:

Thanks Steve

The one site I was thinking about was actually Photobox as I am currently taking advantage of their free 30 shots offer at the moment when I saw the professional gallery!

I'll finish my upload then take a look at your pics although I know your's are always excellent and well documented

I just checked the stats... 2000+ visitors to the gallery and 53 sales

Not sure whether to be pleased or insulted

Better than a kick i nthe balls matey

What sort of size do the photos need to be and what sort of price would be deemed reasonable for photos then?

You just set a % mark up (or set price). So if Photobox charger £10 for an A3 you can say I want to sell it for £20 (or whatever). Personally I don't mark up that much.... selling A2 for £20

So im guessing if the sizes are increased as much as that, it will need to be above 300dpi?

Good thing mine are

Cool..

Heres some of the shots I have stored at the moment, but not on photobox
