depends on how good you can sell yourself. prices go from 300 to 300,000, with the gallery getting usually a 40% cut. it's also almost impossible to get a solo showing in a gallery unless you have at least a BFA, but an MFA is most definitely preferred. so, you have to submit your work to a gallery that accepts cold calls (walk-ins off the street), and then you have to realize that gallery curators at a place like that get probably 50-100 portfolios a week and select maybe 3 or 4 photos out of 2 or 3 portfolios. Also insanely competitive.
That's why no one gets into fine art for teh monies, unless you're a gallery curator. A lot of big photographers have to subsidize their fine art with commercial work. The ones who don't have to are the ones with fat patronages and NEA grants.
like i said, shoot weddings.
