Selling prints/cards of your photos/art - are you trying to be too helpful to buyers? 

What very good advice. Too much choice = indecision and no action.

Once again, you are spot on with your advice. I can produce real nice cards now, but still the market is hard. People want the quality but do not want to pay for it. I will continue to learn from you.

just wanted to let ya know how much i enjoy your talks.

great video, Keith

Solid advice as always Keith and thanks for the heads up on that BBC program....I did very briefly see it and thought it looked interesting, but I think I'll give it a proper watch. :-)

Very thought provoking. It strengthens my evolving view that a photograph should be the physical, 2-dimensional representation of an event or a time or a person or a thing and it should only ever be printed once. The digital image is just part of the process. It is a representation of the photograph - not the photograph itself. Just as a recording of a concert is not the concert. It is a representation of it - it has a value but not remotely like the value of the concert itself which only happened once.

Spooky. Just been chatting about a potential stall at a photography fair and this video popped up in my feed 🙂 Glad it did as I found it very useful, especially as I am lookimg at a printer. Thanks Keith.

Very useful advice. I've just reached the point where I'm having to make decisions about what format and size of print to offer to customers. Aspect ratio, cropping, margins on paper etc. These are scans of paintings, so do I offer the full size painting (usually aspect ratio 4:5, 3:4, 1:1) or do I offer artistic ("Artists Cut") crops which I think are better than the full painting, or do I offer crops that fit the paper - A4, etc. I've been printing some 8x10in paintings on A4, so I trim the ends? It's all very confusing and there are loads of decisions to be made... Thanks for your advice, Keith, very much appreciated.

Definitely something I have gotten into doing vending and I am in the process of downsizing finally. Granted my vending from 2012-2017 giving people lot of options choices worked but that was the conventions and market I was hitting up that work. Now that I loved to a new art genre I am left with way too much and since I began vending again I have been in the process of downsizing and moving this new genre and medium up the ranks but keeping the options limited but also having a slight mix of the old stuff. I KNOW I have been guilty over the years of underselling my work...i think I inadvertently still do it but also the market I have trying to move the old stuff is not as hot as it once was from 2012-2017. Also only doing 1-2 conventions compared to 3-6 like I used to do it is hard to gauge the market too. Prints here in the states people don't really much buy I feel like as it seems like a "I have no room" so it seems to be shuft last 5 years to knick knacks which is not easy for me to move into.

Great advice. I would be one who would be ‘too nice’ about it, but you are right that one shouldn’t undervalue themselves by offering too much. What dpi do you recommend sending the digital print?

Good information, I have bought a Canon pro 300 to sell some prints, I am having a problem with the Print layout S/ware not transferring the full photo to the printer over the network and Failing to error. Have you had this problem, prints from Photoshop and Lightroom over the same connection, prints from the Canon S/ware with a direct connection?

Hello Keith, I am starting a greetings card business. I need good quality cards. I'm not a master photographer (novice) and nor do I know anything about printers. What camera and printer would you recommend for me: bearing in mind I was thinking about the camera you have always used for your architectural photography.
