- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Not having pictures with his name on them circulating that aren't up to standard.Your contract is the way to do it. However, the OP had no contract. If he's looking to get references, maybe for the other 25 people who were at the party, he ought to be helpful and accommodating since the buyer has an argument that he was expecting the digital files (of the complete pictures at least). This is a business judgment the OP has to make. To stand on ceremony, to me, seems foolish at this point. What's the OP going to gain?
Not setting the precedent that he gives out raw files or unedited/unfinished photos.
This is indeed a business jusgement the OP has to make and my recommendation would be not to give out unedited pictures or anything not up to standard.
Anyone present that might hire him later will expect the same treatment and it will tough to explain later why he made an exception for one person and.not another.
OP asked for advice and mine is to stick to best business practices even though he screwed up npt.having a contract.
