What do I tell him? (they want all pictures)

another tip, go download a file renaming program, so you have consecutive file numbering rather than missing photo's from the one's you supply them i.e. img001.jpg and then img007.jpg - they will wonder what happened to 002 to 006, so get your files renamed, then you wont get asked

FastStonePhoto Resizer is what I use. It can also add watermarks and batch re-name. I like to deliver sequentially named files.

From my experience, Lightroom has to process /re-export every photo to do this. Fast stone is 100x faster. Yes, it's better to do this upon original export.

I don't know how quick Faststone is but I don't find LR particularly slow or annoying. If I have a TON of files I can always walk away and do something else.

So I recently did some pictures for an old friend of mine. We were really good friends back in high school, but don't talk a whole lot anymore. The photos were of him, his wife, and their 1 year old son.

I normally supply 10 edited images, but since I know them I edited every usable image there was and I delivered ~35 images to them. The rest of the images that were not delivered were because of bad lighting, posing that was unflattering, or blurry out of focus pictures.

He messaged me today and said they loved the pictures but wants the rest of the unedited ones. I would never do this for anyone else but I don't know what to do since he and I were good friends. I don't feel comfortable giving him pictures that I feel look really bad and are not representative of what I can do.

Should I just give them to him? Or should I tell him I delete the unusable ones during the culling process?

Thank you in advance!

I'd say I deleted them during the culling process (which I myself always do). In this case it's easier than going into explanations.

If rather just sit there for 15 seconds until it's done

How many files are we talking about in 15 seconds?

I find the truth is best rather than fabricating a story. Sooner or later your fabrications catch up.

Nothing wrong in saying that not all of your shots are keepers and that you spent the time culling out the ones that don't meet your standards.

Why lie?

Indeed. Too many photographers get hung up on trying to look like they don't ever take bad photos.

^^^ this ^^^^^

I've gone this route before and at least they respect you a bit. I also tell anybody I shoot I delete any I don't think will work for whatever reason.

Double this. If they're subpar, there's no reason to keep them. Delete them and tell them you deleted them. Friend or not, it's your name that will be associated with product you didn't think was on the level.
