No market for them. I know someone who certainly would appreciate your advice about a lack of a market for flower pictures. Right now she sells her flower photos for between $50 and $700. She does her own printing and and can't keep up with her orders. She will have to find something else to photograph. I convey her thanks for your market analysis. BTW Feel free to post one of your shots of any subject you choose. We will all learn from them. -- Peter

Of course there are some photographers who will do this and make a living out of it but it is such a narrow market it cannot accommodate many people. This person probably does it very well and has established herself firmly in this market. Like I said before, the style of flower/plant photography has be so unique to make any sort of mark and even then it has probably all been done before by people like this "someone" you know. > BTW Feel free to post one of your shots of any subject you choose.
