Bob,

Nice pictures, and beautiful girls!

Have you thought of selling your pictures to another producer, or asking someone who already has a setup to host and sell your images?

As Magician noted, there are several sites selling pictures and sets, match their prices, then have a sale if that doesn't work. However, may I suggest looking at other sets and thinking, "how much would I pay for those?" Remember that while you probably love your pictures, not everyone else does, a fact that I came to terms with years ago as a photographer.

Your preview site is nice, simple is good. However, there has to be a full sized image so we know what to expect from the others. Not sure what the other sets may include, but make sure the preview has exactly what they are wearing, even note socks and underwear. I can't tell you how many sets from Wetlooker.com I've skipped because their previews weren't good enough.

Otherwise, I myself prefer Paypal, so that would be good.

Best wishes in your endeavor,

Andrew

Hi, Difficult question to answer as I'm sure every photo is personal to yourself and therefore has more intrinsic value to you than say the average wetlook producer, however, to sell photos I believe you need to offer a complete series and they need to be comparable in price to the competition if you wish to sell them on a more commercial basis, therefore I recommend you check out the other websites, maybe Leonmoomin's sites, or Erik Elsas for example.

As far as picture quality is concerned, I would want to be able to access them directly online, which would mean that they would have to be compressed down to no more than 1MB each, but possibly you could offer the full resolution available via a CD/DVD and post the disc out for a higher value.

Selling my wetlook images - at what price?

Since publishing a small sample of my home-made wetlook photographs here on the forum (see posts 66233 and 66230 below), I have had several enquiries from viewers about purchasing full res versions of the images. I can certainly do this - I have hundreds of such images, all taken by me, all featuring local models, many wearing their own clothes in bathrooms and in lakes and ponds.

The question is....how much would people pay for my pictures?

I'm sure there are many regular visitors to this forum who do purchase wetlook mages and so I'm asking for comments and suggestions, either as a reply to this thread or to me by email bob@brwd.co.uk

What I'd like to know from such purchasers is :

What is a reasonable price per full res images (between 3 and 10 mg in size -so suitable for printing out ) ?

What is a reasonable bulk order price...e.g. a set of 50 images for example

How do you receive the images? (CD or downloaded from a file sharing site like Dropbox) I would suggest that emailing images would be problematic due to file sizes and max file size limitations by email clients.

How do you pay? I have a Paypal account. Are you happy to use that.

I have prepared a prototype webpage which could be used for customers to view all of my images and view prices (no price details in yet of course),

What do you think? Any comment s and suggestions would be appreciated.
