Do you sell your art?

although right now I am not doing photography to earn my living, but yes, if I get a chance, I will sell them or do an exhibition. But then, there will be a few which I would not sell. Some, which are only for me. My private views and collection. Otherwise, I guess it is fun to show your photographs to others and if you get some money from it, nothing like it.

I try to sell on Devaint art if I can. Business is slow and it is hard to find commissioners. I only sell online art.

if you wanted to sell your photography online, you could try etsy.com or ebay. do you have any consignment art/craft stores in your area? you could also try them. i have sold some of my crafts on etsy and also at craft shows.

I have tried selling my original pieces on eBay, but they seem to get "lost in the listings" (i.e they get less exposure than the 100-200 main dealers who submit up to 100 listings each at a time). Also, these dealers tend to have a tight grip on supply, primarily those ones linked to factories and workshops, and can thus sell for just £1 profit per unit (plus postage and packaging), while shifting up to 1000 units per week in quick sales. What this has done is to effectively strangle the market for art, by offering consumers a very, very cheap alternative that self-representing artists really struggle to offer. If I have just spent an hour making a piece of artwork, then I want at least £10 profit out of that work to have mad eit economically viable. If I put it on eBay, either I have to be lucky, or I have to have a good reputation / powerseller status. Consequently, I can only advise that you approach eBay with realistic expectations if you choose to pursue this method. I hope you find this helpful. Thanks
