If I sold my art photos would anyone buy them?

(Photos such as my current icon I mean)

I just got a PM that made me seriously consider this. Would anyone actually be interested?

If so, how would I go about doing this? Would I need to copyright them and all that?

I could sell them via ebay (as prints to hang on the wall of course, or framed, or whatever would work, maybe I could go by request)...

just do it and good luck girl!

I'm not much interested in the photographic arts - I'm more of an oils and watercolors type.

Just go ahead and try it anyway! You'll never know how well it works until you do it.

I once helped a friend construct an easter-egg painting machine.
It indeed made very beautiful eggs like they make in Ukraine.
They were not "obviously" made by a machine.
A friend of my friend got them displayed in an art gallery,
and my friend with the machine also sold some on ebay.

So, it's possible. If you know someone who knows someone in the art business, then you should ask them how to sell the art. I think you really need to connect directly with the person who can help you. Don't go looking for agencies or you'll get scammed.

If you want to sell your art all by yourself, I've seen street vendors in places like Key West, Florida doing exactly that. One good question I don't know the answer to is whether they had or needed a permit to do that.

An easter egg painting machine? What an original idea! Well, I did actually take the photos myself, even though they are also of myself (by positioning my face and the leaves and things, then holding the camera out in front of me), so they are all original and my own work.

Hahaha I wish, I don't really know anyone in the art business. Maybe I could ask my old art teachers at school... Or I could always just make prints, and sell them over ebay.

Your display picture is quite amazing. I think I would buy some of your photographs if I could and had the money, so if you want to try to sell them, try. I actually love those kind of picture.

Thanks I'm trying to figure out if they're up to the professional quality that people do pay for, and if it would be worthwhile for me to print them and sell them. So far the responses I've got have been really encouraging (thanks so much everyone). Maybe I could just print one to see and offer it over ebay, and if nobody buys it I can hang it on my own wall (I wanted one for my college room anyway ).
