zbphotoI have a question, would you be interested and if so what would you pay for an 8x10 or 13x19 print of photos like this (shipped)? I have a new website coming soon and I'm trying to gage interest on print sales.
Honestly, probably not. These are good photos don't get me wrong, but you have either have pros in them or be exceptionally artistic for people to like them enough to hang on their walls, and frankly they probably have to be both.
I'm speaking for me, who knows maybe someone would pay money for that, but I don't think the general market would pour in for them. The one print i've actually bought and still hang in my living room to this day is this, and i think it fulfills both of the criteria:
And yesterday morning was opening day at Sugarloaf, and the lighting was fucking awesome. Busted out a 50 and captured happy people. These are my two favorites based on the lighting, colors and composition

Yeah I totally hear what your saying, thanks. IDK, I don't think I'd be targeting 'NS' really, I could probably sell photos to my parents/grandparents friends. For the sports shots my 'market' would most likely be people from ontario who know the skiers I shoot with.

How many $ do u charge for profile pics
loganimlachin all seriousness, whats the native res on that file? I would pay you for it to get a print made.
jKutcheri could second this
I'll third this, count me in if you decide to make prints!

I don't really care if the skiers are pros or not but to be honest but I agree that to make me want to hang them on my wall I'd like them to be a little more "exceptionally artistic." IMHO hose pics are compositionally bland and I don't think I'd hang them unless I knew the skiers personally.
Got hit up by Powder to take some portraits of a snowmaker here who has a profile coming out soon. Here's an outtake/photo I wanted to take more for myself than the assignment.
BelzebubFirst time using flash, and reallyyyyyyy bad snow. Critiques?
get the snowboarder to slash the other way. or get on his other side so you see more of the front of him. other than that i like the lighting, it be nice if he was a little more in the flash, he is a little centered in the photo try and have him more in the corner initiating the turn. i like the second but the town on the left is a little distracting.
Currently being printed, should ship in a week or two. Can't wait to get my hands on the first hard copy after staring at this thing on a screen for 4 months.
Exclusively pictures taken in Scandinavia this past summer by 5 young photographers (myself included),
There are a few spread previews up on the website, cover shot was taken by fellow NSer Rasmus Dale.
Looks awesome! One thing, you could probably raise your price on the prints. $20 USD is pretty low for that size, when compared to $16 for the magazine. I mean it all depends on your target audience and the quality of the print, not sure if these are actual inkjet photo prints or laser posters?
Final series for my photographic print class; Port Lands district of Toronto.
These are printed 21x21" on 24x24" inkjet paper.
Shot on my Mamiya C330, 80mm f/2.8, Portra 160, Epson V750

zack, i may not know a ton about all of the rules of photography or the scope of your class, but that whole set is just sickeningly bland. it doesn't look like you took any time on composition at all, nor any straightening in post. for a final project, on portra, you could have shot on a day where the sky wasn't so bland. i feel bad that you spent so much time developing those.

Fair enough, the 'deadpan' aesthetic is not for everyone. The Port Lands area is pretty bland to begin, so shooting on an overcast day was partly stylistic. I feel the image would have looked "off" if I shot in sunlight. I also didn't want shadows so cloud cover was ideal.
In terms of subjects I was only able to cover about 1/4 of the area in a single day, I did not have enough time to go back for the assignment. The horizons in most of these are fine I think its more converging lines or perspective that throws the eye off.

Thanks for having a look! Really appreciate it. Makes me happy just to know that people have seen it, I have a mini heart attack every time an order is placed haha.
The prints are done professionally, legit inkjet prints. Reason for the low price is that this whole thing is run on a low-budget basis. It's a graduation and the project and the aim is to spread the work, not to make a quick buck off people who appreciate.
By the way, here's a stupid picture I took while travelling around shooting for the magazine, it's a shit snapshot taken with no thought, but I still really like it for some reason I can't explain.
BelzebubSearching through the harddrive I found this one. What do you think?
Too much contrast, the angle is almost looking down, composition is visually overwhelming. The arrow pointing right while the road curves left is also kind of confusing.
Recently I went on a surf trip to Bali, the place is just too easy to photograph I sometimes spent too much time behind the camera and not seeing it with my own eyes! Anyway, I thought I would post some of my favourite surf photos and maybe next time post some lifestyle shots! Really happy with these, sorry if its too much of a dump post and as always, click for better quality...
