I’ve had a number of emails from other photographers asking how the print offers were going. Whilst I’m not in any danger of selling out the edition, the response has been much greater than I expected. I’ve shipped two batches, and at times the surfaces of my work room were covered with prints drying - a great sight!
I combined launching on the blog with a marketing campaign based around my mailing list and had a couple of takers, but more surprising was a sale of two 20 x 60 inch versions to people who wanted it bigger. These were people who had never bought ‘photography’ before, but had bought ‘art’, which I guess is where the trips are centred. So is it worth it? Yes, it is. The sight of stacks of prints going out the door, images finding homes, was very satisfying.
I’ve already decided what to offer in exchange for donations next, one of my favourite images that currently only exists as part of a diptych… it was also the first image of mine that Bee Flowers said he liked!
