Digital BW, The Print

Your instincts are correct. Never give up your file. The client paid for a
portrait. If they had purchased a portrait from a studio using film, they
would not expect to receive the negative.

Hi All, 

I know this is terribly off topic so if it's completely inappropriate to
post this question I 
apologize. But there are so many photographers on this forum shooting for a
variety of 
purposes I'm hoping a few of you might share your opinion. I have googled
and not come up 
with much.

I just finished a portrait commission and the client wants the files. My
inclination is not to 
give them up at any price because I do not want inferior prints of my stuff
floating around. 
How do you all feel about this issue and for those of you that do sell the
files....how much?

Thanks,
Sarah
