Greetings,
A friend of mine (based in the US), who is not in the photography business and not a forum writer, has her pictures posted on a few websites. Someone from Western Europe wrote to her about buying one of her pictures. The European wanted her to email him an electronic file so that he could print it over there to his specifications.
I told my friend that she should be careful about sending an electronic file, as the buyer could potentially make as many copies as he likes and sell them at will, and my friend would be unprotected. It's not that she doesn't trust the buyer, it's just that she is unsure about what to do, as she has never sold a picture before.
Questions:
(1) Do you sell an electronic file of a picture or do you sell a printed photograph?
(2) How much is a reasonable charge for a picture (8x10)? She's never sold anything so has no clue.
Thanks for your insight!
