| Feb 4, 2016 at 0:46 | comment | added | user41829 | Since contracting may come up, we paid a flat $1800 fee, which included the draft prints mentioned above, a leather bound album with all the art and images inside, and a dvd containing hi res jpegs of all the images with an unhindered license to print. In talking to many other photographers since, I think we got a deal because she was still building up a clientele. Conversely, a local studio gives free sittings, but their cheapest print, 8x10, is over $50. | |
| Feb 4, 2016 at 0:35 | comment | added | user41829 | The photographer at my wedding did. She gave us a 5x7 of all the images, then we selected 92 of our favorites, which were artistically put into an album. I know they were all there, because there were about 800 of them and some were blurry and/or just bad. | |

| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:38 | comment | added | Jon Story | @KevinFegan because they have a brand to protect and releasing all the photos (including a lot of crap ones) risks damaging their reputation... Apple don't release all their early iPhone designs, Ford don't release the test versions of their engines, artists don't sell the paintings they cock up, musicians don't release every take of every song they record | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:31 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | @JonStory - That explains why they don't deliver 100% if the images in printed-on-paper form (very expensive and a waste), but doesn't explain why they don't release all the RAW images as files. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:19 | comment | added | PlasmaHH | @KevinFegan: no, because those are not images of what he saw with his artistic eye. | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 22:15 | comment | added | Kevin Fegan | @PlasmaHH - wouldn't "what he saw" include all the images, including those that he didn't edit, retouch, or print? | |
| Feb 2, 2016 at 18:08 | comment | added | user | What @JonStory said; especially when there is any sort of action going on, and even if you set the quality bar low, a success rate of >10% is actually quite good. When you start having multiple people in the same shot... well... | |

| Feb 2, 2016 at 13:30 | comment | added | Jon Story | I'd also not bother with "risky" shots that could look great but probably won't if I get the timing wrong. A photgrapher will take hundreds if not thousands of shots to produce an album of 50, and most of the rest will be crap... cameras are too "instantaneous" to get reliable results without taking numerous exposures. | |

| Feb 1, 2016 at 22:06 | comment | added | bdsl | I suppose if the photographer knew they had to release every image its possible they'd be less keen to take photos that they thought might not turn out well. | |
| Feb 1, 2016 at 21:34 | comment | added | PlasmaHH | The job of a photographer is to deliver a reproduction of what he saw with his artistic eye. | |

| Feb 1, 2016 at 19:58 | comment | added | Itai | Might depend on common practice in your location. Some do here. You have to specify it before contracting the services of course. | |
