Always remember your output, or final product, is what leaves a lasting impression. Do they share flimsy, poorly printed pictures with their friends, or a canvas backed, framed portrait? First impressions are everything. Christa – very good, I agree. Always remember your output, or final product, is what leaves a lasting impression.

I only sell low-res images that I have sized small(with my web site imprinted on the image = free advertising!) with a minimum purchase. This way my client's can share their images online, but not print them. I never sell my hi-res images because I want to control the quality of the printing. This way I make a profit and my client gets what they want.

As an artist, you should always build your business up and sell your work as a final product. In today's world, especially with business portraits, or high school senior portraits, it is important to understand they may want photographs to use online. If you have an option for digital files - just to use on websites/social sites - and charge appropriately, you'll be staying up with the times. I completely agree.

Personally, I'm not a big fan of giving away, or selling digital files - my work is judged on the quality of the final prints and I like to keep control of that part of the process. However, for those who do want to offer digital media, your article makes perfect sense. Good job. Nigel An interesting article with some great points that are very pertinent.
