The Open Makes it Easy to Sell Gallery Quality Prints

The Open has partnered with Fotomoto to help participating photographers generate additional revenue by selling prints that can be shipped anywhere in the world.

It's simple. Open a Fotomoto account and update your profile on The Open with your new ID. A Buy Photo button will appear on your Artist's page below your image on the right hand side. When a customer makes a purchase, you will receive an email requesting an upload of the hi-res original. It then gets printed, packaged and shipped.

After printing costs and a nominal 20% fee (15% for Fotomoto, 5% administrative fee for The Open) the rest is yours.
