What should I charge for 13x19 prints

[James Tainton]

I have a guest house in Thailand interested in purchasing some of my prints. I have a R1800 that gives me nice prints on Epson luster paper,. I don't want to scare them off but I wonder if a $20.00 price per is too cheap or about right?

Why are you giving away your work for free? Is your time not worth anything? $150-300

It's worth a lot to those willing to pay. But it seems people are not willing to spend money on art? Thanks for your input though- food for thought, I've always been a bad business man in regards to my art.

I agree with Morris. Never be cheap! You devalue all photographer's work. This article may help. It includes a link to a cost calculator.

IMO, if it's a good photo, I see no issue charging at least $100 for a 13x 19 shot. And maybe $50 for an 8 x10.

you need to build a market for you

don't listen to some voices and don't get greedy

while 13x19 is a good size ask yourself what Is the purchase power for those folks

take it easy

I agree with Old Greenlander. I've also been selling 13x19 prints for $20 each so I'm in the same boat you are. I see nothing wrong with $20, but make sure you're making money on that.

If someone wants to charge 15 times more, their photos better be 15x better.

Exactly. If someone wants to charge 15x what I charge, I hope their perceived quality is 15x greater.
