A lot of my favorite street photographers work, the photos in physical prints are only sold on Magnum. And the price feels ridiculously expensive, $10000-$20000 for a photo poster. And its not like I can get the actual digital file or negative to print myself. Is this simply the price I have to pay just for being able to hang the photo as decoration in my room?
and its not like original art or oil painting where there will only be 1 copy ever made. the photo can be printed for very low cost. so I’m basically paying $10000, just for the “idea” of taking a photo?
