I love smaller prints and tend to print my 35mm negatives as 6"x9" (on 8x10 sheets) and my 6x6 negatives as 10"x10" (on 11x14 sheets). I've been tempted to start selling some prints starting in the new year and wondered if prints this size would be salable. Most prints I see in exhibitions these days are significantly larger than this (unless they are vintage prints from past masters), and some of the group exhibitions I've been included in this year have specified a minimum print size that is larger than this, forcing me to upsize my prints.
Some photographers seem to be successful making smaller prints - a recent Michael Kenna show I attended had mostly 7 1/2" x 7 1/2" prints and he seems to be doing pretty well. But I wonder if smaller prints have mostly lost their appeal and will be a difficult sell going forward.
