Digitals vs. Prints: Why I Deliver Digitals in my Photography Business 

I'm still a bit new & kept on hearing people talking about selling prints (I just gave them all the pics via a link from the start). It was SO hard to find info about this (because they all explain like its obvious & like you already know that process), but then I found your video & it was SUPER helpful and I feel relieved that I can just keep on doing it this way. lol

Hope, most photographers that sell prints and products give a social media size/smaller digital file (not high resolution) for every product ordered. Many of us will sell the high resolution files after they've purchased a "collection" as an add on, so that business structure is more of a hybrid. I find that people do not value the digital files so I've switched back to selling products, it felt like with selling digital files it was a race to the bottom regarding prices. I can't believe the amount of high resolution files photographers are selling for next to nothing. Sounds like a good recipe for photographer burnout.

Always GREAT information!!

I run my business by what I always wanted as a customer so I've included the full gallery of digitals from day 1! I do upsell galleries for mini sessions and I definitely encourage my clients to purchase physical products (bc that's something I'm super passionate about) but I want them to have their photos and also not feel pressure to buy from me! I want them to be able to print their photos whever they want!

This video was so worth watching because I was confused on what to do, but now I know . Thank you Hope!

What would you recommend for someone who will start photography business from scratch ( some portfolio from fam, friends) do u recommend Digital files or IPS? I’m too confused which one is better, I’m thinking to create a package that includes digital files and album or wall prints as an option they can choose Online but not in person sale, Ur advice will help me a lot.

What size digitals do you include? Full res? Social sized?

I see so many videos talking about prints vs digital but nun of them talk about how to offer and price print products

Im a female photographer lives in United Arab Emirates i deliver to my client digital all JPG photos without editing via we transfer link and then they Pick 20 so i can edit them but most of them they are complaining that they paying between 68$ to 108$ on 1 hour session without giving them printed albums or photos bcz they feel its so much expensive to not have any extra things i dont know what to do and how to do it the album thing should i have to design the album myself? The thing is I'm muslim and most of my clients are muslim also so i want extra privacy sometimes if the client want to shoot without her Hijab so the one who work or print the photos should me a female because Mens who are not related by blood can't see woman body or hair so its kind of complicated to me

You should consider pic-time

She talks fast.
