How much do landscape photographers earn from selling NFTs? Specifically, I used public data to compile:
My list of 50 Top landscape Photographers selling NFTs on Foundation, ranked in order of ETH sales between the snapshot dates (5th – 9th July 2021) to get a feeling for the range of earningsPublic details about the photographers, including Foundation account, country, short bio, and social media links to provide further context and follow-up for interested partiesStats like the max, min, and average ETH sales of the 50 photographers combinedA list of the collectors who bought NFTs from them
[DISCLOSURE: I hold BTC, ETH and XTZ in varying quantities. This article does NOT provide any investment advice.]
As an aside: This is not a “What’s an NFT guide?”. If you want to get up the curve on NFTs, please read this first or check the section on NFTs on my resources page. I’m going to start with a summary of findings for those in a hurry and then follow up with the full list of photographers right after. Excited? Okay, let’s dive in! NOTES – Please read:
A Summary Of My Most Interesting Findings Are As Follows:
Please consider the notes above when reading these findings.
Creators Findings
Total ETH earnings per photographer from NFTs in the list, by Foundation account, ranged from between551 ETH (approx. $51.1k) to 2.370 ETH (approx. $4.7k) during the data collection period (5th – 9th July, 2021)
The average total NFT sales per photographer on the list was 7.802 ETH (approx. $15.6k) during the periodThe highest price paid for a single NFT was 8 ETH as sold by John Kopf (although John has recently smashed this! But was outside the snapshot period)The total value of NFTs sold by all 50 photographers on the list was 390 ETH (approx. $780k) during the periodPhotographers from 10 countries feature in the research with the USA having the highest representation at 60%, Spain (8%) coming second, and Canada and New Zealand joint third (on 6%).
Collectors Findings
Currently, there appear to be a limited number of landscape photography collectors, as compared to other niches like memes, collectables, or 3D art NFTs, where individual items can sell for dozens, even hundreds of ETH at a timeDuring my studies, I found one hyper-patron in the landscape photography niche, Vince aka @caktux, who is involved in collecting from a staggering 46 of the 50 accounts (92%) surveyed on the list
Other notable collectors in the space are norcal_guy (@norcal_guy) involved in 8% of all accounts on the listThere are some other big NFT collectors like Jesse Powell (@jespow) but their involvement in collecting specifically, landscape photography NFTs, has so far been limited to a few pieces (2% of accounts on the list)A small number of photographers are buying other photographers NFTsFor further information, collectors of each photographer are included in the list.
Conclusion
And now… here’s the list:

BIG THANKS AND CONCLUSION
First, I’d like to thank all the photographers that made my list. Although the process of manually collating and checking the data has been tedious at times, it has also been helped enormously by having your incredible photographs to enjoy along the way! Second, NFTs are at the cutting edge of art, finance, technology and culture, and an increasing number of photographers are able to make a meaningful income from them. Although NFTs have little track record to date, in my opinion, I believe we are at the dawn of a new medium for art as the human race moves inevitably towards increasing digitisation. And finally, you may be wondering how I drew up the list of the ‘50 Top Landscape Photographers’ for this article, if so: Here’s a link to my research methods.
Disclaimer
As stated at the beginning, this article discusses MY List of 50 Top Landscape Photographers Selling NFTs on Foundation. It does not try to be comprehensive, on the contrary, it is proposed as the beginning of an investigation intended to become collaborative: so do not hesitate to complete or correct this information with your comments! On that note …
Now it’s your turn:
What’s your #1 takeaway from this NFT study? Or, maybe you have a question about the results? Or, would like to nominate yourself or someone for the list? Either way, I’d like to hear from you! So go ahead and leave a comment below, I’ll reply to each one.
