Hi I’ve been reading this post off and on for awhile now –
Anyhow you might be alarmed to know professional photographer always want to keep your negatives their excuse is you might want reprints – However to my understanding after awhile they are initialled to use your negatives to re-copy and distribute, display and sell your pictures that comes under some law to do with Creative Commons license.
However, if it were me and I have done it – have your friends take them – get some ideas from magazines in what you want the outcome to be. – Importance of carefully selecting a good photographer, randomly picking a name from the telephone book - sucks...
Who Keeps the Negatives?
You will also want to make sure you understand how re-orders of photos will be handled. Will the photographer keep the negatives, as many do, or will he turn the negatives over to you as part of the package? Traditionally, photographers have always kept the negatives. – So you need to be Right Out There asking Questions and to hand over those (Negatives) when you purchase the first set of prints...
At least with a friend there is some kind of honesty to start off with right – so thats my best bet for you – I’ve read all the others a advice and its good advice. – Last words be sure that you are clear on whether or not you will be given the negatives. This is important so that you know precisely what your package price includes and will therefore be able to accurately compare the cost of one photographer to another. – Hope it helps... - And, and, and do us girls get a peek-a-boo at the pictures later – LMAO – have a good day...
