Thank you for doing that! It's time for the artists and photographers to take control to earn their worth!

[@joelstolarski2244]

I agree. I tried some old scans of really nice 40's pictures of cars and women in bathing suits. I painstakingly, did hand correections of all the spots on the scans, submitted to Alarmy, and each one was turned down by the initial qualifying. Took me weeks to scan and correct. Very frustrating. Have a pretty high end flatbed, and cost involved in software to do the corrections, and then weeks spent correcting.

[@joelstolarski2244]

I have some old negatives, from the 1940's and some older I think. Would these be good candidate to scan and make limited run nft's with ?

[@StaceyMayer]

Why not? Vintage is by it's nature, limited.

[@VeryBlueBot]

How would you compare OpenSea to the "bigger" platforms? Aka Foundation, SuperRare, Nifty, Marketplace and such? I want to start sell my work but don't want to user the open marketplaces as Im a bit afraid they are selling out with non artists opportunities.. Maybe im just talking nonsense

[@oSavior]

Keep going! Everyone reading this, your art now has a way to be of actual utility/value! Meaning any picture/any video anything you’ve ever taken or made in your name you can now upload it and have value! Upload everything! You are worth it you beautiful souls in human disguise😉 I want to see everyone art! And anything you consider art is art wether it be a selfie of yourself or a sunset! Show the world!! 🚀🎉🚨

[@DR-fy7qy]

Thanks for the informative video. Am I correct in assuming that without a social media presence it will be impossible to sell any NFTs? In my case I have zero social media accounts, no twitter, Facebook, Instagram, etc.

[@DennisRyu]

The only issue with your method see is that anyone who buys the NFT gets the link to the raw files. So it is actually not a unique thing since if it gets sold several times then every buyer will have access to that raw file. Oh and about the topic you touched with a single side holding all photos and using smart contracts to link the photo from there, there is actually something that is close to the scenario you described. Check out the Interplanetary File System or short IPFS. It is sort of storing hashes representing the images in a blockchain so they can be stored decentralized.

[@michaelleegoetzsr.305]

Hi! Thank you for this video explaining the NFT process. I get a question to you. I saw your pictures at Souvenir Pixels and Opensea, and they are simply astonishing. You have a huge portfolio, and is know on the web and social medias. Yet, the photos didn't get any offer so far, even after a couple of months available there. So, what is your assessment of this? Is there a real future, i.e., make money, for photographers with NFT? BR, and congrats for your job.

[@prodbydramatic]

good questions

[@gbattisbal]

Thank you very much for this video. I learned a lot about this. I know we must learn about NFT, specially photographers. Thanks.

[@dfxdigital4620]

Just to clarify a point from an artist/photographer's point of view: I have photos and digital art that I am selling already via a print-on-demand setup. Am interested in creating some of these into NFT's. Does that mean I lose the right to still create print-on-demand posters if someone buys the NFT? Or is it better to maybe change the design slightly for a more NFT friendly approach which means the design is different from the printed physical ones

[@josharellano1073]

@photerloo answer this question

[@StaceyMayer]

Learn about divisibility of copyright. Changing a little of this and that, is meaningless. It's still a derivative work. Read about divisibility of Copyright, you will be happy you did.

[@commercialaccount9501]

You’re not selling the rights to your art. You’re selling “proof” that you’re the owner of the art

[@cloudatlasminer478]

@@commercialaccount9501 you’re selling the digital art, but not the rights to the art. However, you can set up copyright use within the smart contract. But, even then, you still have rights to your original files to print, sale etc. but you’re paying for the minting and proof of creator. Like paying a fee to Print and frame.

[@kirk4517]

NFT isn't the copyright of the art(but you can make a copyright as a NFT) NFT just like your print, is a form of a product from the original creator

[@RENDAINFINITA369]

So one question after I pay the first fee like you paid for your first photo 80$ the future photos nft I want to sell I must pay again 80 or more for haz fees?

[@cv07apr9]

Very good information! One question here is what will happen when my first NFT if it is not sold? Will I pay the gas fee again to for relishing? Thank you.

[@sage.aesthetic]

What do you think about doing it on Mintable? I like the idea of not paying for gas fee until it is sold

[@dfxdigital4620]

Think Opensea is the same, Lazy Minting it's called

[@jamesc-l557]

Really appreciate your time in making this tutorial. Cheers!

[@mrdkuss5012]

Hey thx for your honesty & knowledge great luck with your work

[@nickbaer3321]

My question has to do with creating the artwork content itself, first. All of these videos, including yours which is one of the best of the best, it's about the NFT (e.g. on OpenSea) but I have a question about the digital artwork file itself. If I wanted to list a NFT of a scan of a painting, plus 3-4 photos of the artist painting the painting... Is that a directory of five images? Is that a multiple page .pdf? I also have video of the artist painting the painting... how could I add a video clip to the scan and the other stills?

[@nickbaer3321]

Is the answer: You don't make "collages" of various media... you list an image of one type, then after the purchase, the buyer can "unlock" the other files and filetypes?

[@YoussefHallouly]

That gas fee, do you have to pay per month? Or everytime you upload a photo? Or only once?

[@allbayfishing9456]

Gas is paid anytime you interact with the network. So when NFT is created, when it is listed, sold, resold, transferred, etc. Gas prices go up and down based on the congestion on the network. Hope this helps

[@vinodmane7367]

Thank you for the information, Nice video, can you able to share the spreadsheet which you created, its easy to understand and upload the photo

[@theodorab6747]

This video is great. Thank you! 2 Questions: How do you get paid if you sell your NFT (do you get paid in ETH or actual money that you withdraw after your sale)? Can you list your NFT on multiple sites (ex: rarible and opensea) choosing quantity of 1 on both sites?

[@Photerloo]

You get paid in Eth. You can mint NFTs on both rarible and Opensea but then you may need to create the NFT Minting gas fee twice, which is expensive. It is actually better to create a multi token NFT on Rarible then also sell it on Opensea, you do have to pay to list on Opensea (it was $13 today) but it is way less than the minting cost ($65 today), here is one I just did on rarible rarible.com/token/0xd07dc4262bcdbf85190c01c996b4c06a461d2430:314950:0x3b6944228e738eb4ba1b245024556faabc722b3d? and here it is on Open sea opensea.io/assets/0xd07dc4262bcdbf85190c01c996b4c06a461d2430/314950

[@rahimmahtab2993]

this was so awsome i learned so much !!! I had a few questions 1) The reserve price you mentioned is that the maximum limit ? I dont understand it, it says "if you recieve no bids greater or equal to your reserve price that your auction will end without selling the nft. I dont get it, so you want to sell it lower than your reserve price so it dsnt get cancelled ? I dont get it ? 2) what happens if no one bids or no one buys your setting price, can you auction it again ? is it done and u cant do anything with it anymore ? 3) what makes the gas price change so much ?

[@Photerloo]

1. Reserve price is the minimum limit. So, if you set the reserve price to 2 ETH and someone bids 1.5 ETH, then it won't sell. 2. Yes, you can put for auction again. 3. Supply and demand

[@rahimmahtab2993]

@@Photerloo ahhh i see thankyou :D you are awsome

Actually... Mirrorless camera came out long before DSLR...Leica, for example, has been making these cameras for almost a hundred years and are still considered the best in the world. Mirror to view through the lens was added first in Japan by Nikon (a lens maker) to removed the parallax effect, and compete with the very large “twin lens” camera market.This added complexity and a lot of weight to an-otherwise very simple process. Other types such as the “view” cameras, are mirroless and they offered the best ever negatives since the early glass Daguereotypes

[@klaton4819]

Question on the Smart Contracts. What are the rights you are retaining and giving when you create and sell the NFT. My understanding is that an NFT being non fungible would mean that it has a limit of one. Would that block you from reselling the photo on other sites such as selling a jpeg made from the raw after the NFT was produced to a stock site, or continuing to sell existing copies of the photo as stock? I am just starting to dig into this area and have not combed through the contracts or conspired contracts between the NFT hosting sites.

[@Photerloo]

Right now NFT's are not connected to rights in anyway, they definitely could be if you wanted them to but that isn't currently defined anywhere. You also could create more than one NFT for an image but each one would be unique, think NFT 1 of 5, 2 of 5 etc. Nothing blocks you from selling an NFT on opensea and also on stock sites. Everything is new right now, you need to define how you use them.

Excellent tutorial, how do you set up to always receive a percentage of the photo sale in the future?

[@JustMe-_-]

Look up more on posting NFT’s. You can set your % for your work when you list the nft

Thank you for the video! I have a question. Let's say I want to give my full-size photo to an NFT buyer, but I don't want random visitors to come to my collection on OpenSea and download my full-size photos for free. How do I do that? If I shrink my NFTs to let's say 1000px longer side, will anybody want to buy it? Also, will they care about the full-size at all?

[@onetwothree4148]

People don't buy NFTs because they want a photo. Anything you include in the NFT is public, so there's no exclusivity to it. People are buying the provenance. They can say they bought an NFT for x from you. If you aren't famous, no one wants your nft

[@slimnics]

@@onetwothree4148 why are non famous people selling NFTs ?

[@AlexSoh]

Do you pay a one time fee for the whole batch of photos or do you have to pay a fee for every image when selling? I understand there will be a charge for every sale.

[@sgill7059]

I think you pay gas fee on the first one

[@TheOutdoor_Guy]

You pay a one time fee to activate your Crypto wallet. Once that is done, it is free to upload as many as you want. Every-time you sell one opensea will tak e a 2.5% fee from the sale price.

Once you declare your art on a blockchain , you are guaranteed this art belongs to you . Others can make changes to it like different colours , shape etc , but the original will be under your name , the art name , date of exposing it on blockchain etc . NEVER show anyone your ideas on ANY social media before putting your ideas on a blockchain .

[@comeatmebr0o]

How many sales as for now do you have and what's the profits?

[@lurker668]

I would not expect any sales, NFTs are mostly crazy flashy gifs. Collectables like NBA players or even tweets. It's very strange right now, actual art / abstracts sell there for hundreds of thousands and most expensive sale Was for almost 70 milions $. It's not place for stock photography. Hopefully there will be place like this for photography soon. Right now to sell there a photo is a pure luck and as far fees goes your price need to be few hundred per sale to have decent earnings. Standard fee for creating NFT is between $40 and $100.

I don't know of any Eco-NFT market places yet but the energy usage is a concern and being worked on. Ethereum 2.0 will require much less energy when it gets released. There are also smaller blockchains that use less energy but none are mainstream yet. This is a solvable problem but is going to take time for the solutions to be built.

I have one more question regarding finding art. How are people finding art on opensea or something, i mean you did put keywords in your description i see but it doesnt even ask you to categorize when placing it on the website, if you have an artwork that is very niche or something that people would never search for cause its too artistic and conceptual how do people find it ?

[@Photerloo]

They probably won't find it ... I noticed this as well, right now it looks like the search on open sea only really looks at the title of the NFT. If you want your NFT's to sell then you will likely need to promote them off the opensea platform (like on your social media) to start. Then if you start getting sales they could be found directly on opensea.
