What's the look and feel you want on your site and wedding photos? If you're paid up front a decent amount, what you post and how may not concern you for lost online sales. But you still might want to consider reducing the size posted and add a watermark. The more obtrusive a watermark is, the more likely you'll have sales. I like the effect a few of your photos have but it doesn't hold up for all of the photos as a whole. Check out color balance in the help section on SM. Quote:
As a friend or a relative, it pains me to hear when people are ready to spend a great amount of money for someone else's photos and here I am a starving artist and they want my photos for free? Worse yet, they want me to print them out and give them all the photos for free. You have got to be kidding me. No wonder some pros leave their cameras behind sometimes. Then there are the people I classify as in between. If they can't pay my low print prices, then they probably want them for free and I'm not into that but that's okay atm. Perhaps, I'll make those galleries public someday with my higher public prices and we'll just see how much the old prices are missed. Quote:
After that, you'll have to get creative to make some sales. One idea is to create a new portfolio piece to show potential new clients and the current B&G. Quote:
Is the B&G giving away these photos to everyone in attendance at the wedding for free as well as your photos too? Check out the guest upload feature and see if you can work it into what you're doing. But doing so sends a message, so you should consider how you want to shape that message as well as the look and feel of your site that leaves an impression on the clients you seek. Quote:
Lots of photographers share the same stories: "I never made money until I raised my prices" or "thank god, I had a day job for many, many, many years," etc., and all I can say now is good luck to you, especially, in this age of "free for all" regarding digital content. |
