- Can others edit my Photos
- Photos NOT OK to edit
Recently I shot a wedding that was long, around 14 hours on my feet with a second photographer. I have already selected and edited all the photos I think are best. The problem is, the client has asked if it is possible to have all the photos, including all the unedited ones. In total for the day I have around 2k+ photos between the 2 photographers. From those I have around 400 that I have generally improved (slight adjustments to colour, levels etc) and around 100-150 of those that I have worked on for the main deliverables, where I have spent more time polishing each photo. I planned to give them the 150 plus, with some presented in a photo book, gallery DVD/BLU RAY etc and the remaining 250 as extras. I am not comfortable giving them the rest of the photos, as they are unedited, all taken in raw mode, so would not best represent my work. Plus a huge number of those are just duplicates, where we took a few extras of group shots etc. to be able to select the best ones without closed eyes, funny facial expressions etc.
The reason the client has asked for all the photos, is because she thinks she may spot photos taken that she loves, which I may have missed.
What would you do? I am minded to say no, as I really do not want someone to see any unedted photos, thinking that is represents my work. I could spend a few hours doing some basic work on the raw files to improve the levels etc, but I am not keen on spending the extra time.
