Hello everyone!
I am an outdoors photographer and writer based in Southwest Washington. I've been trying to break into the photography business for years with limited success, and was hoping this website might help me sell a few prints. I've been using 500px for about a year, but never have been able to sell anything there, though I have over 100 of my best images posted there, here's the address if you'd like to check them out, I'd value your input! https://500px.com/andyzahn
I've also got accounts on Youpic and Viewbug where I am trying to grow an audience, and I have endeavored to grow my presence on Facebook (which I dislike) Twitter (which I do like), Google+, and more recently Pinterest. I've also been maintaining a blog, where I post photos, hiking stories, opinion pieces, timelapses, and most recently the first episode of a environmentally focused Vlog. http://illuminationsfromtheattic.blogspot.com/
I'm not sure about how to price my photos here, even after reading a bunch of threads on the forum discussing it. Since I'm new here I decided to set my smallest print size at a $10 markup and increase the markup by $10 for each size. I'm a little worried that this will make people undervalue my prints, but I want them to sell, and to me that even the $22 base price after my $10 markup seems like a lot! How do you price your prints (if you are a photographer)?
Here are the images I've uploaded so far, feel free to critique them!
