Hi all! I'm not sure if this is the right place to put this thread, but it didn't seem to fit anywhere else! So I have a fair amount of landscape, wildlife and some fine art images that I've created that are simply sitting on my desktop and I've been thinking for a long time about trying to sell some of them to make a bit of extra on the side. (I'm not a professional just yet as I have just moved country and waiting on work visas and all that as well as extra experience in the real world before I set up shop).
However I really have no idea how to go about it. I know there are plenty of printing options but that's what gets me confused. Is it best to sell plain roll-out prints? Or ready framed and/or mounted? Is it better to have some prints sitting and ready to go the moment someone is interested, or to print each one made to order (thus giving some freedom to the buyer about framing/mounting options).
Are there any online printers that anyone would recommend that does high quality work? I've asked around at a couple places in town, but they don't seem to have a wide range of printing papers that I would want for my work to be seen as intended.
And how does one go about pricing their own work, especially when you are a total unknown and untested? Here is a few examples of my work (2 wildlife, 1 landscape, 2 fine art from a series).

I'm just completely in the dark about the whole selling physical photographs process so any advice would be very appreciated!
Thank you
