OT - Photography Pricing
I got messaged on another forum from a member who would like to purchase 2 of my photos from my BBQ Tour. Totally cool and kind of flattered that he wants to hang my pics in his home. I shoot for me and not to make money, but I think it would be really cool to sell one of my images.
That said, I want total control of what my photos get printed on, so I plan to print and direct ship to him. I've only been shooting for 14 months, so I don't even know what to charge. Is there a standard mark up that I add on what the printer charges me? @hapster Would love your input here! 
Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

Congrats on someone wanting to buy a print
Always have control... that way you can control what other's see when it's finally displayed. You don't want someone printing your work cheaply and detracting from it when others view their art purchase.
At the very least, double your costs to produce the finished piece and mark up the shipping at least 50%

Thanks for the feedback Hap! Total control is something that my instructor always preached and highlighted exactly what you mentioned. It stuck!Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ....

On my site... a 20x30 print, matted, framed, with non glare glass would run you about $350 before tax and shipping

Daniel Vaughn published a book of BBQ pics. Why can't you @cazzy? Texas BBQ and Tennessee Whiskeys. A book of pics from a Motorola Razr, right?

Niiice! That's a big photo so I hope he's purchased pics before so he knows it's not going to be like $50.hapster said:On my site... a 20x30 print, matted, framed, with non glare glass would run you about $350 before tax and shippingI gave him my contact information cause I need more information about where it's going to be hung up in his home. Figure out the lighting condition, framed, canvas etc.I'm waiting for the photos I printed for Aaron Franklin and John Lewis to come in. I did a 8x12 aluminized metal print for their pics. Figured it would be pretty cool for guys who weld and work with metal on a daily basis.Just a hack that makes some $hitty BBQ.... -
I need a lot more pics to get there. I plan to tour more places and add to my collection though. Maybe in 10 years lolGQuiz said:Daniel Vaughn published a book of BBQ pics. Why can't you @cazzy?

PPA reccomends marking up 3x your costs for a home-based business.

You should come take pics of a Travis method brisket.Be careful, man! I've got a beverage here.

@cazzy,Do you have a website that others can view? I'm always looking for pictures for my home and man-cave."You can live in any city in America, but New Orleans is the only city that lives in you."Chris Rose

No. I don't do this professionally, just a hobby! Most of my pics can be found by clicking on my name, then discussions and looking at my threads.nolan8v said:@cazzy,Do you have a website that others can view?

@cazzy
You should take a look at Zenfolio, supper easy, great customer service, and you can do all of your print and products through MPix which is a pro lab.
My site, linked below, is with them...

Thanks @cazzy I appreciate the kind words.
I'm still a piker and I don't shoot, really shoot as much as I would like too. I am not counting all the iPhone & Instagram photos LOL...
Here are a couple from this morning's tour that I used the RX100 for... nice not having to haul out the big gear in this weather and knowing that I can get some usable images.
One of my stores... and the diner where the Blob was filmed
