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!

Photorag and Photorag Baryta has a little bit of texture, its not nearly as strong as some of the "textured" papers from Hahnemuehle. Do keep in mind that those heavily textured papers are matte papers.

I have another question: do consultants and representatives accept to work with an artist who is not based in the same country as they are? I need more exposure overseas.

Thank you!

I know that textured papers are matte, which is a preference of mine. I try to avoid any papers that are glossy because glossy paper is not textured and I don't know what lighting conditions will be where the photo will be hanged. Better be on the safe side.
