Recently I photographed a dance recital for a client and want to offer prints to the 15 or 20 families of the other young dancers. I’ll be getting an email list of the families from my client. It would nice if they could order on-line by credit card rather than sending me a check. I’m a graphic designer/advertising photographer and almost never do weddings or private portraiture. So, I’ve got no experience with online commercial galleries. The only place I’ve looked at so far is [LustreColor](http://www.lustrecolor.com/Portraits/OnlinePortraits/). They certainly seem reasonable enough as far as fees go. But if anyone has any experience or recommendations I would greatly appreciate your advice. ---

I use [Pictage](http://www.pictage.com), but its quite pricey and there’s been a vocal minority of photographers that don’t like their service. It works fine for me. However, the place I see most pro photographers flocking to, if they don’t like Pictage, is [collages.net](http://www.collages.net). I’ve only heard positive things about them from other photographers I know who work with them. ---

Just thought of one more that’s popular with the pros: [SmugMug](http://www.smugmug.com) ---

Thank you Mr. **Pulykamell** I’m checking the places out. (First reaction: Arghh, turn off the musik!) If you (or anyone) have any general tips about selling photos online I’d certainly welcome them.
