With the popularity of digital cameras, a new option has appeared in the world of professional photographs. Instead of just offering prints as most photographers of the past did, some are now offering digital images of the prints, which customers can then use at the lab of their choice to make prints, photo gifts or whatever else they choose. There are many advantages to this. The following are reasons why you should look for a professional photographer that will sell you un-copyrighted digital images instead of just prints.
Many professional photographers charge a lot of money for their prints
You may be able to save a lot of money by paying the photographer one flat fee and then making your own prints at a low cost place. A professional photographer might charge $20 for an 8×10, which can be had for under two dollars at some discount photo labs such as Costco. Especially if you need a lot of prints or if you want big prints, you might be able to save a lot of money by just paying for the images and then choosing your own place.
You will be able to get the photo gifts of your choice
There are many places that make wonderful products with photos on them. Such items include mouse pads, mugs, throws, purses, and many more items. Your professional photographer might only offer a select number of photo products, if they offer any at all. In addition, if you do not have the digital images, then you will have to pay whatever it is they are asking, even if it is far more than you could get elsewhere. You can also use the images in whatever digital way you want.
You will have the images forever and be able to make prints whenever you want
When you have the images, you will always be able to get prints for them. Many times we lose pictures as time goes on, or we want to make more prints at a later time. With the digital images you will always have this flexibility.
One note is that it is important to get photos that are un-copyrighted or which have a copyright release so that you can do these things. You always want to make sure that you have the full resolution photos. Some studios will offer the photos on a disk, but they will have a watermark, be protected by copyright, be a lower resolution or be compromised in some other way so that you cannot use them fully. When inquiring to the photographer, make sure he or she understands what you want.
