- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Okay, so I don't have a business right now, and won't be shooting for a business for quite some time. But, I do have a few good pictures that I like and am happy with and a few others like as well. I would like to print them for my friends who I am asking a minimal fee to do so. Eventually if I choose to make a business out of my photography I would like to have any prints I do make be numbered. I don't want to print some now, and then decide later I should have but not be able to since some are out there. My question is in the numbering itself.
1) When you number your prints, what is a general good number to use?
2) Do you number the prints by size(200 of 8x10 as well as have another 50 24x36)?
3) Am I retarded and should I just print for my friends now and then have a numbered version later?(The only reason I want to number off the bat is for my last question.)
4) If you ordered a print later on from someone, got your 1 of 50, then randomly down the road saw another person with the same picture with no number, would you be super pissed? I think I might.
I would appreciate any advice and won't try and defend my thought process. I'm trying to use all of you who are smarter than me, and that's probably all of you, to not shoot myself in the foot out of the gate. Also, I have no disillusions thinking I'm the best in the world or anything. There is a very good chance that in the end, when I'm good and dead, I'll have sold a minimal amount of my pictures and that on my tombstone there will be nothing about my photography. But I'm still going to try and get better with every picture I take. Anywho. Again, any advice will help.
