Has anyone sold their photos?

i tried shareapic.net they pay for CPM... 5000+ pictures view will give you just a single $.

I, too, like many others would suggest trying stock photo sites. They do require a certain type of photo, though. If you are looking at more of the artsy types, the suggestions to go to galleries would be best. Also, many times coffee shops may let you hang your work and sell it. Some of our local shops charge a small commission for letting you do it. If you have enough photos hanging around town, you could get well known. Offices are another place to check. They remodel frequently, so you might get some sold there.

i have done both! it depends what you have to offer. is there somewhere i could browse through your work? i *may* be able to help promote your work on a small scale, depending what it is you photograph :) i run my own photo publication :) as for getting money on the internet, you should try stock photo websites. people have already mentioned a few here, but the only one i can vouch for is fotolia.com. i made way more than i ever expected to, since my work is usually too artsy for their needs. but i made over 40$ throughout 2006 from about 165 images, and an extra 20-25$ over the x-mas season. but you really have to have the right type of shots if you want to go for stock photography. as for getting your work into galleries, it can be hard, and frustrating, or it can kind of land in your lap when you least expect it! i had 2 solo exhibitions last year, which both went amazingly well, but i also got majorly screwed on one show in particular. a well-known gallery who decided they also wanted me to design 6-7foot tall posters for their window display, out of my own pocket. we're talking 120$ per image and they wanted 11 images!!! on top of the money i spent to print my own work for the inside of the gallery (the actual exhibition). many people will try to scam you if you don't know enough about the art world and the business aspect of it as well. i SO learnt my lesson after this gallery asked me to sign papers stating who gets the profits, and then later said 'papers? what papers? please, we don't sign paperwork for PHOTOGRAPHY! who would want to buy PHOTOGRAPHY!?' i walked right out of the exhibition 2 weeks before the show date because it became obvious that something was very screwy. so my advice is just to watch out, and if you happen to have a friend studying law or who is an actual lawyer, that can always be useful (though i didn't have that luxury). the other photos i have sold have been through luck, pretty much. i met a fellow photographer online who was in love with my work, and he insisted i make him a signed copy of one image. i had never sold anything, and had no clue what to even charge him...but we worked something out, met in person and now we even collaborate on projects :) you see...a network is key ;) i do have more tips if you want to privately message me or something (if not this post will go on forever lol)

You should arrange some exhibitions as i myself is a phtographer

Just remember as an artist you must display your work. I would caution publishing to net. Once there, they are there. If I were purchasing a piece I would pay premium, only if I am the only one that can publish it. If it has been circulating, I wouldn't pay as much.

i have sold my photographs before...i did this using ebay though so therefore i didnt really have a gallery...but i would advise you start from there from my personal opinion with it being easy to use

I've sold a few of my photos through stock photo web sites. It's not the way to make a million dollars off your pics, but once they approve your photos, they then will sell them to designers. The part I like is that they maintain the site, your photos are always on display, they watermark them for you, and you never have to do anything else unless you want a payment. I already have a full-time job, so photography is just a hobby for me and this is a easy way to sell them. The hardest part is getting a photo accepted, as it has to be something they would like to use. Hope this helps! :-)

do start with mylot............

For galleries, just ask around. If you see photos displayed, ask the owner of the business how to get your own up. I had one gallery show by doing this. No one bought any of my photos, but I'm guessing my prices were just too steep. Live and learn. Just take your portfolio everywhere, and show it off at every opportunity. I looked into getting my photos on some stock photo sites, but I didn't like how restrictive they were. On one site, I could only sell my photos through the site, I couldn't sell prints myself, at shows, etc. At others, I would've had to pay upwards of 500 bucks just to be listed on their site.
