According to PhotoShelter, which now represents 42,000 photographers from over 160 countries, image buyers frequently request the ability to purchase hard-copy photographic prints. Today, the company launched PhotoShelter Prints in response to these requests.
This is a limited-time launch. PhotoShelter Prints will remain available until Oct. 1, when the company will evaluate the offering’s success and decide whether or not to make prints a permanent addition to the business. If so, participation will be open to all PhotoShelter photographers.
The “beta†prints line, handpicked by PhotoShelter editors and divided into classic and contemporary galleries, offers a broad sample of the PhotoShelter Collection. Works by emerging artists are offered alongside accomplished professionals, who include Stacey Pittman of Radar magazine, editorial photographers Ami Vitale and Landon Nordeman, and Banana Republic’s décor photographer of the moment Andy Biggs. Prices for archival-quality prints range from $100 to $450 per print.
