I always hear the same refrain: yes, they are fair indeed, pity though that they don’t sell much…
\nActually so far my experience at Picfair<\/a> had been… fair: for a few years I’ve been putting every now and then some images there, having three or four sales promptly paid in the meantime.<\/p>\n

But times seem to be changing, and I decided that I need a personal photo website. I would know pretty well how to set up one myself, but for a small yearly fee Picfair offers me the possibility to have it under my own name, and as a very nice bonus also to sell my pictures as prints\/posters\/framed. So why not to give it a try?<\/p>\n

So be it: luisafumi-photography.com<\/a>
\nThe presentation of the images is very good, and I can (beside having an URL of my own by them):
\n – sell prints,
\n – make albums and feature one on the first page,
\n – have a local search engine,
\n – create a splash page with a picture I love
\n – add external links to the menu (to my blog here, to my other website vintage-nostalgia.com<\/a>, etc.)
\n – have a personal watermark. I retained the Pifair standard one, very well thought and designed, also because I am happy to be there in excellent company, as I find the overall Picfair image quality astonishingly high.<\/p>\n

Time will tell if such a decision will be fruitful \u2013 now it is to early to make a reliable forecast about the destiny of the photo market at all.<\/p>\n

Just few days after my new Picfair installation I was rewarded with a pleasant surprise: my first print sale, my splash image! A good omen and a nice startup.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
