I have been asked a few times if i will sell prints of my photo's, i've always said no, it's just a hobby, but if somebody wants to buy them i may as well oblige, the trouble is i don't have the foggiest what prices to charge, i know it will depend on size and printing charges and i was wondering what others charge for their's if they don't mind telling?

Will you be printing them yourself on a home printer or getting them done professionally Maria?

Tenner a pop for an A4 print on decent fine art paper, printed with proper lightfast pigment ink. £15 for A3. Those are just strictly friends and family prices. I have some on sale in a local shop, A3 in a simple clip frame just for transportation purposes and the go for £19.99

I charged £16 for an A4 and £35 for a 30inx20in this past couple of weeks. These are mates rates though, I would charge more to a website customer

Hi Daz,
OK for mates rates, but if delving into the world of tax and NI, paying shops a commission, and printing costs - how much is your time worth?

I don't know how much My/Our time is worth, that's a hard one isn't it, but I wouldn't want anyone making more money off a print than I do, I would have to add all the overheads together and add that, so the commission tax and ni et etc etc will be added, and then the biggest chunk again, so if the commission is the biggest chunk I would add that again as my profit I suppose. Does that make sense?
But the honest answer is I don't know Pal!
