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.

I have googled different photopapers and I believe the kinds that fit my work are the matte and textured papers. I love to create that vintage effect even when I post-process a photo on any software.

Thanks a lot for your advice! Although this online experience is out of my comfort zone but this discussion with all of you contributing made me feel more confident to put a plan into action.

Great! 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?

Again great news! Thank you :-)

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?

That's great news to me. Thank you :-)

I will definitely ask for money upfront. He wanted to commission me for a similar project on his horses. He said he will provide all the hardware/software I need to produce similar work of art. I guess in this case he has the right to own the project.

 

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!
