Why I Don't Provide Raw or Unedited Photos to Clients

As a professional photographer, I understand that many clients may have questions about why I do not provide raw or unedited photos. While some clients may prefer to have access to all the photos taken during a session, it's important to note that raw photos are not a finished product, and they do not reflect the high quality of work that I strive to deliver.

I believe that my work reflects my personal style and artistic vision. Each photo is carefully selected and edited to enhance its visual impact and bring out its unique qualities. I take great pride in my work and invest a significant amount of time and effort into editing each photo to ensure that it reflects my personal style, meets my quality standards, and showcases my client's unique personality and style.

It's also important to note that I do everything myself and do not delegate my editing to other people or use external companies. This hands-on approach allows me to maintain complete creative control over the editing process, ensuring that each photo is edited to the highest quality and meets my personal standards. It also ensures that your photos receive the individual attention and care that they deserve.

Raw photos require extensive editing to bring out their full potential and create a final product that meets my high standards. Providing unedited photos can also damage my reputation as a photographer, as they are not representative of my best work and may be subject to misuse or misinterpretation if shared publicly or edited without my permission.

I also believe that quality should always take precedence over quantity. While some photographers may offer to provide clients with hundreds or even thousands of photos, I prefer to focus on delivering a smaller collection of carefully selected and edited photos that truly showcase the beauty of the moment.

Finally, I want to emphasise that the reason why my clients hire me is because they saw my final product and they loved it. By trusting me with your photography needs, you can be confident that you will receive a stunning collection of edited photos that reflect my personal style and exceed your expectations.
