A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Selling my Photographs Overseas & Selling an Entire Project (alien.top)

Hello!

I need your advice on two issues.

1- Selling my work overseas:

Fine-art photo paper is not available in my local market and overseas shipping costs are ridiculously expensive because of the BAD economic conditions in my country. Is it possible to arrange with a printing service overseas, in Europe or USA, to print my work and ship to the shipping address of the client? Has anyone here been through a similar experience?

2- Someone from the Gulf offered to buy an entire project of mine (RAW files included). Has anyone been through a similar experience?

​

Thanks!

To answer your first question, yes. You can even make it easier for yourself and use an online print house and have them white label ship to your customer. I use Nations in the US and Saal-Digital in the EU, but there are multiple options.

I am sure they will have all sorts of fine-art photo paper to select from. How did you decide online which type of photo paper is best for a a given fine-art photo? Or did you already know this in advance?

I'm not clondon.

Some offer sample sheets of their paper and significantly reduced test prints.
