[Closed] normal for portrait photographers to keep copyright or not sell digital file?

Markie · 2009-10-14T08:41:27Z

Hi. We've got a baby who is 12 and a half weeks old (yay!). We're looking to get some professional portraits done of her. Just spoken to a photographer who said that he doesn't give out or sell his digital images - we can look at the photos on screen at his place, but then have to pick some and pay for him to print them on whatever medium we like. This is fine, except that we've got relatives all over the world and I know that what a number of them (even grandmothers!) want is to receive an image file they can use as a desktop background. I'm new to it and have no idea what is reasonable / normal. Any advice would be appreciated - as would any recommendations of baby portrait photographers near Wallingford / Oxford! Thanks Mark

Obviously not, but it's good enough for me. Why do you ask?

I do know photographers who keep two external hard drives at friends houses, backing them up once a month, in case of theft or fire...

Sounds pretty amateur. But i guess costs restrict a professional back up system.
