Taking photos and working on them on photoshop are time consuming which many people may not be aware of. When the weather is not nice, taking picutres take a lot of time. One of the less difficult methods of selling your photos and promote your picutrs are to have a local studio and create a website on the internet, then invite friends and family to check them out. I am sure since they know who you are, they may want to buy some from you or ask you to take their pictures for them.
After spending a significant amount of time taking pictures, and accumulating a large library of images, it can be a daunting task looking for a way to sell your work. With the right approach and a vast amount of hard work you soon may see a return for all the hours spent outdoors.
When selling prints in a gallery don't make unnecessary claims about the durability of your prints. Give advice on how to take care of the prints, such as: don't store them in humid conditions or don't expose them to direct sunlight. Try to print on good quality paper.
Choose your time carefully when holding your first exhibition. Don't hold it in early January; most people spend a lot of money over Christmas and don't like spending too much in the new year. Pick a time where there's a lot of visitors coming to your town. Local images should sell well with tourists. Don't try selling an image that you think is just "OK". If an image isn't good enough to hang on your own wall at home, it is not good enough to be exposed to the public. There are plenty of other ways to sell your photography. Stock Agencies require a minimum submission of 500 - 1000 images, and regular submissions thereafter, with very low returns. Sometimes it's better to go it alone promoting your own work, especially if you've got the drive to become a salesperson. And no better place to start than in your local town with your first exhibition.
Remember: agencies can't sell images if there isn't a market for them and placing images at an agency does not guarantee you sales. Visit Fotograf i Trondheim
