The problem with selling of photos is that the owner is not "selling" the photo away, at least he would not be willing to in most practical situations. What the owner sells is the "right to use the picture" and the price of the sale depends on where it is being published. If a college student wants to include it in his presentation, the owner would be willing to give away the permission for free and if Conde Nast wants to include it as a magazine cover, then the owner would be willing to charge a 1000 dollars. Your assumption of "selling" the photos to some one for some fixed price, is not sufficiently sophisticated and is unlikely to appeal to the target audience, the photographers. I think what you should do, at least for the start is: Allow the owner to sell the printed copies of their photographs and ship them, and donate all the profits to a social cause: http://www.acumenfund.org/ http://www.acumenfund.org/ This lets the photographer put up a banner saying, buy the printed copies of my photo and help the children in India get education.
