Hi, I took pictures at an engagement party with about 25 people where I was paid $550. I'm an amateur photographer with a D500 and a 24-70mm lens and an SB700. I was paid in cash on the spot. It's probably the most I've ever received for an event. I typically just do this as a hobby or for an occasional political event or campaign for a few hundred bucks.
The host has now asked for the originals (NEF versions). This was never discussed until well after the event. We have no signed agreement. Many of the pictures are under-exposed, requiring me to do more work in photoshop, so I'm a little embarrassed about that, but they are generally good pictures.
Should I charge them more? Should I now have them sign some kind of waiver? I realize it's pretty much up to me on how I handle this, but I'm looking for recommendations. What are my options? How would you handle it? Simply turn them over? Just continue processing them and do as we initially agreed with only the processed JPGs?
