Post by: indyedge on July 28, 2015, 23:20

Just got started in HDR photography and just submitted my first HDR photos . Has anyone had any luck selling them ??

Depends how well done they are. They can look natural if done well, or totally overcooked and grungy if not. I have landscapes in HDR that sell well but without a non-HDR comparison it is difficult to say whether the HDR would still sell against a "normal" photo.

I have a few where I submitted a version in HDR and another one of the best exposure straight up.  Sometimes it makes very little difference but most of the time the HDR version is better and sells slightly better.  Try it yourself and see what works best for you.  Certainly if you look at most popular the HDR shots often are near the front.

It is not HDR photos that sell, it is the subject.

HDR is a way to intrepretate the subject for better or for worse, dependant on your style and intention.
