I'm in a family of 6 and it's not very often that everyone in together. So in September we took the opportunity to have a photograph we had taken 10 years ago duplicated. I was short on time and to what I thought, I hired a great photographer. They had a studio on a busy street and also specialized in framing and photography. I liked what was on their site and liked it when I spoke with them.
I expressed some concerns on how the picture 10 years ago was out of focus and how the main object in the picture was crooked.
Either way we were not happy with the exposure issues, composition issues (items in background that could have easily been avoided) and the biggest one is focus. There is not one picture in the batch where focus is spot on. I politely explained that we were not happy with some of the images and asked that they possibly send me the raw files since it was part of the agreement that the we own the images after the shoot. Instead they sent me another CD in the mail with some of the images adjusted very slightly.
The biggest problem is the one image we needed to duplicate from 10 years ago is overexposed and out of focus. I sent him another email explaining that we still are not satisfied and asked him to just send me the raw files since I'm pretty confident the exposure can be fixed, but they are unwilling to give me the raw files.
I have pictures that I can post, but didn't know if it was against policy to post images shot from another photographer. If not, I'll post some from the batch to see if maybe I'm the one with a bad eye.
