Do I need high-resolution photos of all my artwork to start selling online?

No, you don’t need high-res photos to start. However, getting professional photography of your work is important and easier than you think. Post on Craigslist looking for a photographer experienced in art reproduction, wait 24 hours, and you’ll likely get many responses. Look for someone with references from other artists, call those references, and expect to pay around $25-$45 per piece. Having quality images is crucial for print-on-demand and for presenting your work well online.
