What Print Size?

[Neil79]

I'm hopeing to sell some of my photography, however i'm unsure what print size to default to?. Shall i choose

20.03 X 25.4CM
or
12.7 X 17.8CM

2. Shall i always use Crop to fit ?

3. When showing prints at galleries, what size do i use?


THANKS

Hard to say, size surely depends on the subject matter, I don't think you can just produce one size. Also depends on whether you are framing them or is the customer? If they are going to be relatively low cost and the customer is to frame, then you'd best stick with aspect ratios of generallly available frames - custom made is expensive.

Go and check out some galleries and you'll see the same artist/photographer will have various sizes/aspect ratios.

My standard size is 20"x16", although I have also printed 30"x20" and 66"x44" prints, but they end up so expensive, heavy and big that they don't sell very well.
