Hello all,
I'm a junior in high school and I'm the sports photographer for the yearbook, and quite a few of the sports players have seen my images on Facebook, etc. and have inquired about purchasing prints. With this is mind I just got done with a Zenfolio site to start selling my shots, but I have a few questions before I get too into it.
1. I don't think I do, but would I need any sort of permission from the players before posting and selling?
2. Facebook is how I get the shots seen by the players and parents, but the photo security on Facebook is pretty much non-existant. I already upload low quality images, but was wondering if there were other ways of stopping people from just taking those shots w/o an ugly watermark?
3. I mostly shoot high school, but would I have greater success shooting the younger ages? I think that the parents of younger ages would be more inclined to purchase prints than those of high schoolers.
4. I also shoot landscapes and astrophotography, and I was wondering if it would a bad idea to include those on the site as well as sports. I'm not thinking it would, seeing as how some may come for the sports, and then end up getting a landscape shot too.
Thanks for all the help!
