Limited Edition Photo Art Questions

Hello, Interested in hearing other Artist thoughts here. As I use a camera to create and capture my artwork, there seems to be a perceived bias by Art Galleries, that unlike a Painting, a photograph can be reprinted over and over, wish I fully acknowledge greatly reduces its uniqueness/exclusivity.

So I was thinking about embedding "Limited Edition 1 of 10" (or 2 of 10, 3 of 10, etc.) on the lower right-corner, so it is printed.

I also created "Certificates of Authenticity" which I would fill-out, sign and attach to the back of each print.

One question I have is about my signature, should I also embed and print it in each print OR should I get a nice Silver Permanent marker and sign each one (as I have seen a local Beach/Ocean photographer do)??

Any other thoughts, suggestions or help is greatly appreciated..

Not sure exactly what you mean by "printing" the edition size in the photo...is that what you're saying? Usually, that is written in pencil or something below the print in hand and you can't print any beyond the 10 (if that is the edition). The cert of Auth doesn't matter, but it's a nice thing for the buyer to have for provenance purposes.
