OK, I am not normally one to post in this thread because I do art photography. The big difference with faux work on art sites is the buyer sees it before they spend any money so generally it simply doesn’t sell. They can undercut others all day long but when it come to buying large wall art the buyer is likely to spend big money on the printing, framing and shipping so even if a faux charges 20 bucks as a markup for a 48 inch print it will still cost a LOT of money. It won’t hurt the sales of others at all as people that spend that kind of money buy what they want and it isn’t fauxtography…

But I am absolutely dumbfounded at this. First the art site this is on claims to only accept 10% of artists that apply. Secondly, this photographer is labeled as a “top artists” on the site. And lastly, $525 is the price for a 36×24.

I don’t shoot people at all, but  I have to know, am I missing something in this?
