RE: Cost of portrait photography

What date? CD is fine, no problems with that. Raw images and a powerpoint show if you like. Copyright disclaimer etc, giving you no problems if you want prints from wherever. Nowadays, everyone has a flatbed, so they scan the proofs and don’t reorder anyway. I’d far prefer people to put decent copies of my prints on the wall when there friends ask who took them!

I generally do 3 kinds of stuff mixed – some formal lineups (for the parents), reportage / candid style for the memories, and detail shots (close-ups of all the pricey extra stuff you have to get that is forgotten about, or doesn’t show on the normal pictures). It would be kind of fun to do it at Duxford, so the travel isn’t a problem! I shoot on film though, and have it scanned. Reasons being that i’ve had cards go down, images deleted, CD’s that have got corrupted etc. Also, for outside / flash shots I find the tonal seperation to be superior (ie, no bleacehed out highlights). Of course, PJ style kicks medium format out of the window, but then that means no static tripod shenanigans, and more fluid pictures with less boredom, and less hanging around for everyone. And it won’t cost you an arm and a leg!
