Do i give or sell my clients raw or unedited images?

​

I do not. Never. And I don’t plan to.

​

WHY?  Well there are many reasons, but here are just a few:

A raw image, isn’t the finished product. 

​

A raw image is kind of like ingredients to a chef, or paints for a painter. It’s not finished yet. The final image changes a lot based on post processing and editing.

 

You are choosing me for my style, including my

editing. Photographing is only part one of the final product, my vision comes to life in the editing process.

​

Maintaining my reputation. 

If I were to give you the raw or unedited images, I am giving you control over how my work in represented and perceived. ​

​

Intellectual property rights.

Raw files contain a lot of information, including metadata. Selling these could undermine my intellectual property rights. 

​

Photography is art and giving raw images, is delivering an unfinished product. I hope if you're booking me, that you trust me to deliver photos that you'll love!
