Re: [Digital BW] OT: rights to digital files

2008-12-26 by Debbi

May I ask if they signed a contract before the shoot and was there a 
mention of digital files in it?  Were digital files discussed at all 
at any other time before the shoot? If not, then I would not give the 
files. Those are your permanent records, not theirs. I have heard of 
some photographers selling them, but the price is usually very high, 
like $200.00 or so and not every photo taken, but a select few.
