In reply to Alana. Hi Alana, there are no rules around this, but you definitely want to be uploading the highest resolution file you have of the edited image. I suggest uploading your image as JPEG file.

When placing a photo on NFT, does it have to be the original photo from the DSLR camera, the raw, J peg photo, or can it be a photo the photographer has already uploaded online, say taken from the photographer’s website where the pixels are slightly less but you are not putting out the raw, J peg version ?

Great summary really and very detailed.
My question please, say a photograph of a landmark rock I took, can I mint it to art or just leave it as it is in the photograph and list it?

In reply to Andrew. Hey mate, it's a pleasure, glad you enjoyed the read. Yes, I've had a great experience in NFTs so far. The space is still new, and although somewhat saturated, there is room for emerging artists. If you put in the work, you'll have success in the NFT photo space :)

Hi Johnny,

Thanks for the comprehensive article!

Based on your own experience so far, has it been profitable to list your images as NFT?

For a complete beginner to crypto and NFT, is it worth the trouble to learn and go through the process?

I’m not a professional photographer but only a hobbyist.

Thank you.

In reply to Lucas. Hey Lucas, glad you enjoyed reading this article. Yes, that's correct. No, you still own all the IP rights to the images, you are just selling a copy of the image to the collector.

Hey,
thanks for the article, I really enjoyed learning about this new marketplace. If I understood well, I can keep all of my photos on Shutterstock and other photography websites and still put it as a NFT? I thought selling a NFT means letting go off all your author rights…

In reply to Marin.

Hi Marin, thanks for reading this guide and hope you gained some value from it! I have created a separate post on NFT photography marketing which you can view here: https://www.jonnymelon.com/how-to-sell-nft-photography/

I personally use Twitter, discord, and this blog to market my NFT photo collections.

I hope this helps and best of luck!

Hi Jonny,

Great article!

What do you think about promotion of your work? I’ve got a NFT opensea account myself with many photographs that I’ve taken throughout few years.

How do you think I should do? Create a website and thru it get organic visitors and potential buyers? Or should I stick only to a platform like twitter and beg for attention, scream around, etc. The 1st option gives me hopes, but the second one gives me creeps. 🙂

In reply to James. No, there is no charge for it just sitting there once it's minted.
