Garden Photographers Get Creative

In response to my post about garden photographers bringing in some extra cash by selling their art as notecards or in some other artsy format, I heard from Jeff Friesen, who offers prints of his work for sale through his Etsy shop.

It's lovely work, priced at only $30 for an 8 x 10 image, ready to frame.

What do you think?  Any other garden photographers out there experimenting with Etsy as a way to sell prints?

His prints are lovely. I'm in the process of doing postcards and this year I have 2 calendars on Lulu.

I have a large one: http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar/chiots-run-2010/5983030

and a small one:http://www.lulu.com/product/calendar/2010-chiots-run-calendar-%28small%29/5983331

I keep trying to figure out ways to make some money from the blog without ads, don't want those.

I created a calendar of my Garden Blogger Bloom Day scans at zazzle.com. I still haven't received my first hard copy, so I don't want to really promote it until I see if the quality is up to snuff. But you can see a preview here: http://www.remarc.com/craig/?p=771

I have a shop on etsy: http://www.etsy.com/shop/creatingcharacter. I have made a couple of sales, some to people who were local so they bought directly from me instead of through my shop. I have trouble with promotion, I guess. I love to take the photographs and I would love to make money from them, but it's just not in me to get out there and push my stuff, I suppose. I did have a shop on ebay and I never made a sale for my photography there, if that matters.

Ok, I'm going to make a second comment here :) Jeff's work is awesome! I am very impressed. Chiot: I am glad to see that I am not the only person in the world who walks around in stores/markets with my camera taking pics. I saw the one with the price label in it. My mom keeps watch to make sure employees aren't coming our way :) Craig: Those are some nice shots from the Bloom Days. I just wanted to give my opinion :)

I am looking into getting wheelbarrows for my garden and I found your article on garden photography a great read.

Jeff's print is lovely!

I sell vintage-inspired botanical photos on Etsy and out of my home.
