Thanks for watching! Like I mentioned in the video this tutorial was inspired by a conversation I had with my camera man Alec while working on a project in Denver. Checkout the darkroom page he made here- aleccoutinho.darkroom.tech
I uploaded some photos to Darkroom and they looked HORRIBLE. I got in touch with them and Kristopher said they had their engineers working on it. He also said the problem wouldn’t effect the finished product. I don’t think I’ll be selling many prints the way they look online. Have you heard anything about this from anyone else?? I though this site would be exactly what I wanted.
I wish services like Darkroom integrated with Squarespace! Curious to see what you'd do if you wanted to dropship photo prints via your Squarespace page (I've only tried Printful)
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!
Awesome Video.... Is there a way I can determine how Large I can print a photo? Is it the size of the file or the MP of the file or is even a website I can test out a file to be enlarge to?
It's extremely easy to see the physical size of a digital image in Photoshop. Open up your file, click image, click image size, and change the dimensions to your preference. Resolution plays a BIG part in physical size (good and bad) so make sure you know what you're doing before you start changing things. There's formulas out there that take what the human eye is capable of perceiving into account, but everyones opinion on what looks good or bad is different. Start printing your photos and start gathering hands on experience!
Yo! I’m wondering what your preferred printing options are for your prints from simply color lab? Kind of paper? Matt, gloss? Thanks Evan love the vids! Great help for aspiring artists
Can you do a video on this vs using printique? Printique is integrated with squarespace so I wanted to know if it would be easier or cheaper to go that route…
Thank you for this video! I’ve always been intimidated with selling prints, this actually makes it pretty simple. I’ve also been thinking of getting the PPA insurance ever since getting the Q2 haha. Is there a major difference between PPA Full vs Full Plus?
Is this only effective for people inside the states? I live in Ireland and have started selling prints on my Squarespace website but I’m doing everything made to order atm so it’s expensive I think a system like this might be better. Any recommendations? Thanks for the video. Absolutely love your stuff 🙏
Hello! I am just jumping in to say that darkroom ships worldwide. I am in Australia and I sell on my darkroom shop all over the world 🌎 it’s such a great way to sell prints if you don’t have much time. I love darkroom and now you have this video to show you exactly how it start it up too!
I use simply color lab, as I outlined in the video I prefer to sign the prints. But this is a hood option for people who want to implement a passive income print strategy into their business or can’t handle the process of inventory and shipping
Quick question: are there any resources you would recommend for navigating the legal aspects of selling prints? What photos can i sell and which can't i sell? Great video. Thanks for sharing 🎉
If I do not have an Instagram can this still be applied? How can I promote my photography with out social media? Really want to have prints as a passive income.😊
I was wondering the same thing. Do they have suppliers that ship from a another country. Shipping cost and time if shipped from the US would be too difficult…
Aren't these selling methods using all the images photographers upload to feed AI systems? Do they have a contract where they mention something about this?
I want to know, from anyone at all that's sells prints in any platform. Does anyone have customers from South Africa that buy prints from them?? Or if you're a photographer from South Africa selling prints, how's the market??

Honestly you’re the most useful photographer on TH-cam!
I just started mine! I hope people will look for photos from the Philippines :)

Have you had success with them? I’ve uploaded some and I’m looking into the upgrade.
thanks for this evan, i’ve been wanting to start selling prints and this is perfect!
Thanks for watching!

Printique through Squarespace is awesome I use them as my regular printshop as well
Thanks for the info! you did a fantastic job explaining the process...and your production was great!
I love Darkroom, haven't sold on there yet, but the option (once I finally get off my butt and do it) being there is incredibly helpful.
Love this video. Getting back into photography and didn’t know about this. Thanks.
Amazing video!👍👏 I just began my comic book collection and found Toon Haven. They have an incredible range of digital comics for every genre, including the hard to find ones. Lifetime updates too!
This was so helpful and well-explained, thank you Evan!

You’ve convinced me to give it a go
Super helpful, totally worth watching!

@@LucyLumen but the shipping costs are pretty high... duties unpaid is fine but i don't know how much they might charge me later
@RanftEvan what about drop prints from a square space site? Would you recommend a darkroom link posted to a square space gallery?
Do you have to set a storefront Evan? Or will darkroom print for personal use? Or is there another company or service you recommend?
I use simply color lab, as I outlined in the video I prefer to sign the prints. But this is a hood option for people who want to implement a passive income print strategy into their business or can’t handle the process of inventory and shipping
thanks man it was so appreciated :))
Thats amazing. Will start doing that :)
Files you add to the gallery, 300 DPI?
Thank you for this video!
8:37 Did you check the other prices? Those margins are not 50%.
Nice vid thank you for sharing with us

Thanks for the video. Question, is there a way to do this and not use Instagram? I have a very low regard for Instagram.
Very helpful, thanks
👊💯
great content. ty
How does sales tax work? I have a sales tax number for Il but how does that work. Do they take care of that.
Is there any way to embed this on my site? 👀
does darkroom integrates with shopify?
What service do you use for you own prints?
Simply color lab 👍
@@RanftEvanis that a paid for service???
@@TheyCallMeSubliminal no, you need an account to order but its free
any good uk alternatives?
Hi Evan, Is this site only available for US Citizens or also for European?
I was wondering the same thing. Do they have suppliers that ship from a another country. Shipping cost and time if shipped from the US would be too difficult…
TY!!! AWESOME
Aren't these selling methods using all the images photographers upload to feed AI systems? Do they have a contract where they mention something about this?
I want to know, from anyone at all that's sells prints in any platform.
Does anyone have customers from South Africa that buy prints from them?? Or if you're a photographer from South Africa selling prints, how's the market??
does anyone know how well this works shipping to canada?
So dose darkroom print the photos and ship them. All I do is just upload them
Is this only for the US? I live in Europe, and I want to sell worldwide.
You know I’m not 100% sure, sometimes I get wrapped up and forget about shipping outside of the us. I’d check their about page
I am in Australia and I use darkroom and I’ve sold to people all over the world! It’s a great option no matter where you are. Awesome video Evan!
That’s a nice service! I’ll try it! I live in Brazil but I guess there are no issues with that. Thanks for sharing
Can’t seem to see my gallery on my darkroom
I live in Armenia and I can't use paypal. damn.
My man bought a camera flash. 😂😂😂
Haha only took 10 years!
Which flash did you end up buying for your Leica Q2? Been in the market for one myself for my Leica Q2.
The video was ok but the moment you mentioned Instagram I switched off.
more tedious than fine art America.....
Definitely going to try that, thanks
wow, great video. thanks so much
Thank you, really helped me!
