First ever Photo assignment!

Someone likes the photo's of her dog that much she wants her son to order a collage of photos of her puppy.
I have never sold any photo's or prints. so I am clueless how much I should charge!

I am still waiting for the confirmation email of her son (who is going to pay)

are you getting them framed for her?

 

if you join redbubble they take the hard work out of it for you, you just get commission.

 

I did some photo's of a Dalmatian, gave her a disc full of images, she gave me £30 (good friend though)

no idea what he will be after (the son)
i will have to have a look at redbubble. I only did stuff with cafepress before ,.. I assume its same kind of thing?

It is a lovely shot. No wonder the lady was pleased.

Don't use frames for your prints as it will put the cost up and frames can often be a 'personal' choice, find a local art shop that sells precut picture mounts or...

 

We have a branch of the 'Range' http://www.therange.co.uk/pws/StoreFinder.ice?country=GB&findStore=true&page=stores&viewAll=t

 

they stock various sizes up to 16x12 and are good value, if you have a store near you I would recommend taking a look.

 

Also look at http://www.photobox.co.uk/ a service I use and recommend, check the prices and add at least 50% don't forget to add postage costs too.

 

Avoid the more instant local print outlets (Asda, Snappysnaps, etc) nothing wrong with them other than the prices are a lot more for quick turn-around  and you may not get a choice of printing papers.

 

Make sure your image is sized correctly and should be at least 300dpi.
