When showing my photos in a gallery should I have a limit on the number of prints for one photo? Or do you only sell one like a painting, or are the number of prints you can sell of one image limitless?
I expect that it's up to you to decide, but I have no experience... I imagine that you will get more helpful responses from others... but I did want to say congrats on being shown! That is wonderful!
Totally up to you. Most people that I know that sell prints in the digital world don't put a number on how many times a print can sell. In the old darkroom world it wasn't uncommon to have limited editions
@radiogirl with film yes I would because of some variables with paper, chemical mixing, getting the crop the same, which is why if I think I am going to show I print five at once. With regular digital prints why would you want to limit in the first place? If you are doing anything post processing after printing than you may want to think about yes.
I have a photo on display for a year at a gallery as a part of Atlanta Celebrates Photography. I keep replacing the photo as it sells (so far twice in 3 months!). I have gone to gallery exhibits where the limits are there and they go for much higher prices as a result. Depends on the "show" I think.
