Earlier today I went to the the Royal Academy's Summmer Show and I would say much of the work exhibited there was of a similar standard to the IPE shortlist. Some was good, while others made you wonder what the rejects must have been like. The RA has been accepting photography for a while now and the selected images could have straight from the RPS competition. In the context of club photography, most would not have made the grade. Part of the fun of going around the show was seeing what had sold, the highest form of appreciation in my view. A lot of pieces had red stickers and people had paid some surprisingly high amounts for artwork to which I would not give house room.
These are the two top photographs, both of which won cash prizes of £1,000. The first was the winner of the Rose Award for photography and the exhibited print has sold for £250. If you rush, at the time of writing 40 out of 50 limited edition prints at £150 each remain, so you might still be able to snap one up.
The other image won a British Institution award for student exhibitors who submitted paintings, works on paper, sculpture and architecture. I am sorry to have to inform you that you have missed the opportunity to purchase as both the exhibited work has been sold for £750, as has the complete limited edition of 5 at £600 apiece. The reproduction on the Internet does not do it justice, of course.

Clearly, we do not know much about art and in terms of making money from photography just do not have the right approach.
