I'm not. I've pretty much never tried to sell any of mine online except on Etsy. I'll look in to it though.

Your portfolio looks great! How have sales been on Fine Art America? Have you been on there very long?

Do you have any images on the site sourced from Getty (outside of your portfolio)? I found four of my images on Fine Art America - I assume they are through Getty. Here's 2 of them.

I've had a portfolio there for 3-4 years. Sales are ok...definitely worth paying the $35 for a premium membership. The best part about FAA is you set your own price and profit margin. It's not income I count on, but it's always a nice bonus when I sell a big print for an $80 or $100 profit. It's super easy to use and you even get an automatically generated separate sales website.

Beautiful photos! I searched the Getty port and didn't find any of mine. I wonder how you get paid for sales of your images through that portfolio?

I spy a few works that could do well for commercial photography. Even Ansel Adams who at one time hated Color Photography - became a big fan of color when he realized the money he could make in commercial photography. The moral of this micro story is; you can be an artist and still make a few coins.

Again - I really like your portfolio.

Definitely not living the high life off my photography income but it's nice to get paid occasionally for doing what I love. Thanks for looking!
