Hi Folks,
This is in no way a post to solicite sales, I'm simply seeking feedback from fellow photographers on the pricing structure for my fine art landscape prints and would really appreciate your feedback. I print my photography art with Ultra Chrome Archival Inks on a professional grade Epson 7900 and I offer a 10% discount from these prices on subsequent prints ordered at the same time to give a prospective client a savings on shipping.
If you would like to see a sample of my work in order to calibrate what I am seeking feedback on, please have a look here: http://500px.com/Garrick_Liddell

Hmm. There seems to be little sense to the pricing from my POV. Pricing fine art is really about gauging impressions of worth. What's it worth to the buyer? A 24x36, being four times the area of a 12x18 is only worth $60 more? Really?
If you want to start with your 12x18s with those prices (I'd honestly price the satin at $50 more than the photo paper), you need to scale up appropriately, with a feel for value, not price.
The 16x24s, I'd start at $170-$180 range. The 20x30s would start around $240-$280, and the 24x36s would start at $350-$400.

I would at least triple those prices. Don't short change yourself. You have some great shots. Remember, photos are not a necessity item...they are purchased by the heart which usually knows no bounds.

John Patrick & Chez, thank you for your input/feedback, I appreciate it. Yes, I initially was thinking the prices I came up with were low compared to what I have seen fellow landscape photographers sell theirs for. John, I hear you regarding the an image being 4X the printed area and only being $60 more, I suppose what I was thinking was the initial price to purchase an image no matter what size would be the same and the difference would be in the media and ink. I certainly like the figures that you guys share, but I certainly don't want to over price to where the work would never sell.

"...I suppose what I was thinking was the initial price to purchase an image no matter what size would be the same and the difference would be in the media and ink."
Customers don't give a hoot about paper and ink. They see a picture that they want, or don't want, on their wall. Trying to create a price structure based on paper and ink costs is meaningful only to you.

If you are putting the price list in a purchase button, I would cut down the number of options by just listing one set of sizes (e.g., 12x18, 16x24, etc.) assuming a default of semi-matt paper. I would then add a button for the optional canvas.

I typically charge double for a canvas wrap compared to a photographic print. Got to figure in your costs to really determine if your [pricing is solid or not
