2008 I was able to get a athlete signature for me and my brother on separate posters. Was a good day. Well later I got his framed for $220. Most I ever 'paid' for a picture. It was lost later. I still have mine but no frame. Most you paid for a picture?
I was researching some ww1 medals, and came across a family tree with a picture of the said soldier, I bought the original from the family for 100 pound, framed it with his medals, and sold it for a lot more, the family didn't want them.
Like $7 bucks at goodwill lol I am going to drop a few hundred on a Naoto Hattori painting one day though
took me a while to think of any picture ive paid for...best i could come up with was probably $30 for passport style photo i needed for firearms license
depends on how you look at it. paid $99 for my digital camera i've had several years now, blender is free, my present computer i run it on was around $500, i make pictures on both, with both, sometimes even compositing them together, then there's art off made by someone else, i've only ever bought prints from people i more or less know, usually in the under $50 range. i'd rather make things myself, then mess with money about it, but there are people i like what they do, and themselves as people too, that i'd be happy to commission if i had the spare change to do so. likewise i'm, well i'm not opening for commissions any time soon, and what i do probably isn't what most people want, but i do create environments, artifacts, images of odd houses and certain kinds of odd little trains and related infrastructure. more to give people ideas then anything about money. (even ideas about alternatives to money)
It wasnt the signature I was after, but, 2005 Daytona 500 winning Jeff Gordon 1:24 scale replica. Had his signature across the windshield. I can't tell if it's authentic but after looking at others, it's good enough for me. Probably 80€ I had a few signature from football players in Australia in the rugby league. Big mal meninga, Ricky Stuart and Laurie Daley from memory. They came to our school and signed my hat. Just as I left school I was gifted a big folder of football trading cards. It was 3 series, an entire collection of the 1993 rugby league or something.i gave this to my dad. Some of the cards are signed, I'm not sure how much the collection is worth but I've ebay anywhere from 8-20$ a sleeve if cards in good condition. It must have... 60 sleeves. I know some of the cards are the hard to get ones, gold, silver specials. One card was even ultra rare.
Not much. I only paid for reproductions. Not original works. In regards to signature hunting/collecting: never interested me. Same with other stuff from artists/athletes I love or admire. If i catch the drum stick or plectrum of my fav artist at a concert I would still give it away to another fan. I just don't care about that stuff
If we're talking literal pictures--as in photographs--I'm not sure I've ever purchased one. But artwork? I don't know. Never kept tabs on it, but probably the most would be in the $20-$30 range. I get a lot of accent pieces and art from thrift stores, so that helps keep costs down.
Well my senior pictures were a little pricey. I think I paid $300 for an 8x11 copy for my parents and a couple 4x6s for my grandparents, and 20 wallet size prints for my friends. That also included the sitting fee.
my passport photo and the picture of the empire state building on my wall were both around $20 i think. i suppose my driver's license was slightly more than that?
to simplify my previous answer: i don't pay for pictures, i make them. buuuut there are a lot of fellow artists i know, i would love to support, if i had the kind of resources to do so. NOT pictures of people, but of places and ideas about places, even though for most of them, their bread and butter, is pictures of how people like to imagine themselves to be as non-humans. its all about imagination. mundaneness is pointless.
no reason they wouldn't. i make my own animations too. no big thing. i just make things move around. no real stories yet to any of them. like with the others, i make what i like to see because i like to see it and not enough other artists do, though they could, but those trying to make a living with their art don't, because there isn't, and the part i don't understand is why there isn't, as much of a market for what i do like to see. this is what i see as a prime example of things being screwed up by trying to make everything have to be about money. (the way the landscape and the environment is too) making art should be about imagination and encouraging everyone, each other, to exercize and be creative with theirs. (even photography; you take a picture of something so you'll still have it when that thing has changed or been destroyed)
