Only you can determine what your work is worth. If you've displayed in galleries before, you probably have an idea. But if not, figure you'll want to recoup the cost of printing and framing, plus the 30% the gallery gets, plus a small profit. That will probably bring you to a number close to $300 as an asking price. Then how low would you go just to unload the print. Shipping it back home adds more to your cost.. That being said, photography is a tough sell in any gallery that I've ever seen. Showing in a gallery is more about having fun and self promotion. It's not a good way to earn a living. > > Also, if there isn't any sort of limited edition, if more than one person > wants to buy a photo, would Mark be willing to print more copies, and what > would he charge to do so? I would guess multiple sales are unlikely. (See selling my comment about selling photography in a gallery above.). Generally, when a print is gone from a show, it's gone. > > Christine posted a list of suggested hotels for the event.
