Help please...

Very curious to know. When you do your shoots for people do you ...

1) Do both Color and BW for them?

2) leave on your logo/brand or do you make a set of saved photos without your logo so that when they go to have prints made its not on their printed set? or leave it on regardless? IF SO do they need some form of copyright release to show or give so that the printing labs will allow it?

3) Give a copy of a copyright release to them as a part of the package so that they dont run into problems with printing labs or places that do prints?

I wrote this in this section because your presenting what can and cant be done or what should or shouldn't be done when adding information like this to your sites or when the client asks a question. Presentation of these things with solid information to give helps me but also the client understand a bit better! thanks!


Another quick mention...

Do you do Facebook Resized photos or web resized photos as a part of your photos? Reason I ask is because I use a resized action that is used for printing reasons. Then I have one that is just for internet usages. Do I give both on the disc? or do them separately?

Most photo sharing is usually online now days and I want to make sure they have their photos for both printing usage and web usage. Thanks!

No. I might do a sample of one or two images but I do 99% of deliverables in color and then tell them that any of the images are available in black and white.

I don't send image files so that they can get their own files printed in most cases. I try to sell the prints directly to them. Depending on what the customer requirements are and what they are using them for I will sometimes leave a watermark on the image. For any files that they are looking at proof wise there will be noticeable watermarks but I do not include this on any prints that I sell them.

In the cases where I do supply them with a file I will give a letter saying that I am the photographer of record and that they have permission to print. I tailor the files for the sizes that they want.
