[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I’ll be the outlier. I’m surprised you don’t get the digital file of any picture you bought a print of. I’ve never heard of that before.[/quote]

I’m assuming you haven’t used a professional photographer before then. It’s pretty standard practice. [/quote]

I absolutely have. Wedding pictures and baby pictures x2 with 3 different photographers. I have always gotten the digital files for photos that I paid to have printed. I have always had to pay extra for the digitals of photos I wasn't paying to have printed; how that worked varied between photographers.[/quote]

OP PAID for one photo printed. $450, including the session seems reasonable. She’s upset about the cost of the digital, which is the extended cost (intellectual property to the photographer, who she is not getting to print)[/quote]

She paid the photographer 2K!  and she didn't get digital images for the 2K worth of prints that she paid for!!!  I think she should get ALL digital images for $500.  but she paid 2K!  and STILL DIDN'T get any digital images.  Who on earth is your photographer???  Who pays $2500 a year on family photos??

I understand that she paid the charity 450 for a 750 dollar value.    And for that she got a session and one print.  But she ALSO PAID 2K to the photographer for other prints and didn't get any digital images.

did she make a mistake?? sure, she should have asked hey photographer if I pay for 2K worth of prints do I also get the digital images?  She should have asked that.  But what a crook the photographer is!!!  it's sneaky!  And no it's not anywhere close to a normal photography rate.  not even a "good" photographer.  2K gets you digital images for a family shoot!  [/quote]

To be fair to the photographer I did ask for them and she said no. I then ordered the prints anyway. She was not deceptive about that at that time. I knew what I was buying. I really liked the photos and there was really no other way to get the pictures I wanted without walking away. She just didn't tell me until AFTER we had the photos taken. [/quote]

I’m not an artist, but here’s the problem for them. You loved her photos, but think anyone could produce them. You had EVERY opportunity to ask about an extended package beforehand, but didn’t,  so now it’s on her to give you some kind of reduction.

Skills are skills. You don’t pay iPhone prices for an Android, even though in general, they can do the same thing.[/quote]
