We start this series, turning the camera a different way and back towards the founder of Nature Photography Classes and host of the speaker series, Nic Stover. Nic has presented to over 250+ camera clubs on light, technique, and a host of other topics and has hosted 54 speakers as part of the speaker series. This session on Printing and Selling Your Work builds off his popular preparing your Images for Print Class.
Since 2018, Nic has been selling his work at galleries, small shops, and large art fairs. See this video link for a sample layout for a regional art fair. In the past 4 years, he has sold over $200K of prints, cards, and folios, and he wants to help you understand some of the following things.
1. Do I want to sell my work? What are the headaches and potential rewards.
2. How do I price my work? What makes sense for you and the market.
3. What is the right size or type of print? How you can start small and test concepts / images and slowly work your way up bigger pieces.
4. What images should I select? 5. What are Nic’s top selling pieces, and what regional considerations need to be accounted for?
5. What is harder to sell?
6. What mediums sell the most? Metal, canvas, traditional prints. The answers might surprise you.
7. Where should I look to display my work? Coffee shops or at the Met or somewhere in between.
8. What causes the biggest stress points and how can you avoid them?
And so MUCH more. Much of the value of this session will come from your questions!
