Including art photography.
The best method for selling Landscape photography is of course through exhibitions. People generally love to put up Landscapes in their home walls. And those who are interested in art/landscapes often visit exhibitions.
The other way is to contact the art stores, who sell frames photographs to customers. Unless you are well known in the field, the photos wont sell so easily. These people often ask you to put your photos in their stores and if they sell off, you get the money and they get their commission.
The third option is to sell them to tourism websites. You may contact them directly with low resolution photos from your collection, or better still visit their office with your portfolio. If they like, you may get highly paid for giving license of your photos to them.

on huge impressive canvasses…
i use a programme called panogiga2 to stitich multiple images together, giving me undistorted 180 degree, or more panoramas… some of them are 40 feet wide at full size… and on someting the size of an articulated lorry, printing off at A3 isnt going to do the print justice, is it?
theres a few options open to you, theres the " make seven sperate prints (?) of differing sizes, so when you hang them, it walks you thru a scene…
or theres the top of the fireplace 50 inch print, which unless youve got the space to hang it, and appreciate it, isnt going to happen,,, it will but not too often…
and theres the bespoke, one off weird size to fi tthis space prints… weird is wonderful…wihout appearing cynical, we love weird.. they pay for weird, and who am i to disagree?
as you may gather, ive done a few big prints…42 feet x 17 feet was teh biggest… it took 2 days, by hand, in photoshop… and i wont be doing that again in a hurry!
but, as for the display, it wholly dendent on location… usually the constraints of space… dictate the display layout…
the thing about these big prints, you have to have space to view them… many years ago i made a sign for my brothers garage wall… the fixed huge HGV wagons,,, and this sign, well it was the bees knees,,, right upto the moment we hung it… and it all but dissapeared in the space of the huge walls.. imagine lookg at a bit of A4 from 15 feet away… like i say, that was a long time ago…
NOW>>>> well, i use the technology at my fingertips. just up the road from me, (im in coventry England) is an exhibition printer… the do the huge display images you see in supermarkets,,, 3metre pictures… and as were all scratting for the little money available in this recession, they open tehir doors and trade on ebay of all places… and its fantastic quality with light fast ink…
and all you need is somone local to frame it…
if youre interested, email me… and of course, we live in a shrinking world… paper ships cheap!
