Yes. I am finding the same problem on how much to charge.
I took the cost x 3 for my basis. But, the Gallery that i was working with went from 25% commission to 50%. So it ended up, I made nothing.
I have pulled all my work. Now I have wonderful photos of Italy waiting for the next place.
Right now, the market in Northern California for Art is a little flat. I have sold my work, but with the 50% commission- that just doesn’t work. Thank you for your help, David.
I believe i am in the ballpark of what you do.

Unlike widget sales demand for art is often based on perceived demand. I’ve known a lot of people that sold more when they raised their prices on the same stuff just because it was perceived as better. Obviously no guarantees there, but something to think about if things aren’t selling – maybe go the other direction instead of lowering them to the point of poverty.

So agree with this article !
it not so simple to sell photo art and the price is a HUGE problem…
i find that canvas prints are really not so expensive and no need in metal or wood frame.. but it depend to the taste of customer.
anyway – good luck !
