selling photography?

hello
i was wondering if some of you could help me out. my neice got this email the otherday and was asking me about it. i dont sell my photography over the net and she got the following the other day.


Hi,

I had a look at your DAportfolio site and would like to get in touch regarding a print on demand cooperation for our second premium art print site ARTFLAKES .com.
We market and produce high quality art prints to customers Europe-wide now for 4 years, always in cooperation with artists and other visual content partners, who get for every reproduction sale a royalty.

In contrast to deviantart, which does also prints as a side activity, we focus 100% on the sales side. Additionally we will


soon not only feature open editions, but also limited editions.

We search for illustrators, photographers, painters, but also visual artwork from other artists.

Could this be interesting for you? Then I would send you some further information.

I am looking forward to hearing from you!


I wish you a Merry Christmas and nice Holidays!

Best from Berlin,
Martin Thesen

my question is has anyone here ever delt with this company before? she is 15 and has a good eye for photography.

here is her site if you are intrested http://alanawhitehead.​daportfolio.com/
thanks for the help!

Never heard of it before. At first glance, I would be suspect of some type of scam......but I tend to be cautious.

My first thought is that, if she's only 15, she can't legally enter into any sort of contract...

whois info...
Not a new site, which is always a sign of a scam.

Artflakes.com: Is it a jip?

https://www.google.com …&lr=&ft=i&cr=&s​afe=images

I would be cautious, sounds too much like a scam to me.

thanks for the info guys

i can tell you artflakes definitely ships images - as i sent a pack of six cards to a friend for christmas.

So artflakes is trying to drive content providers to their site. looks like they got a member list from deviant art, sports shooter... and never thought people from around the world would compare notes... Meh.

At least they are a European Company. Europe = Good.
