Um, anyone who would base their opinion of a photographer on a models shot in her book is um, uh shortsighted?
Anyone who does that, I wouldn't want to work with anyways.

Most people who deal with photographers know how work is screwed up, copied (illegally)or just taken to the wrong lab. They know better than to think that they are seeing the best when it comes second or third hand.

I totally believe if you TFCD you both deserve the originals, just remember what a pain in the ass it was to make dupe negs or prints.

Don't even start on TFCD, the model and the photographer make out much better than TFP. You can't control everything.

oh btw that worst image on the contact sheet, I cut it out before I even make their contact sheet. If they notice they say "what happened to this one?", I say it was "bad" and I hear no more :)

: I have seen the following several times now and wonder why photogs are doing it. Model has a very productive TFP shoot with skilled photographer. Beautiful shots. Photographer hands model CD of everything they do. Model prints the images best he / she can and effectively destroys some great images. Either the result of the photog providing files of too low resolution or the model not printing the images properly. Either way the photog gets nailed for doing a bad shoot.

: I am still doing things the old fashion way and run into problems of models wanting the worst image on the contact sheet. At least I have a final chance to consult with the model.

: Asking because I saw a model lose a job (not very well paying but important) and the professionalism of a photog questioned. Neither of which was deserved until you looked at the portfolio.
