Advice on giving a client the photos.

[AndreiV]

I recently was asked to photograph a party. Ive done a few already but I've always just compiled all the photos and put it on a CD and let the client do whatever they want with it. But for this party i want to kick it up a notch and do something different. My friend suggested to compile an actual album with the best pictures would be nice and still give a CD with everything. I dont have a website , though I did read the sticky but still kinda fuzzy on how it works.

If it helps, the party is by a family friend so I want to do a little bit something special. So I guess its more on a personal note.

It's one thing to give the images to a friend, but make sure they don't give the image away to others. If so, you'll never know where they'll end up.

This what I put in the IPTC field of every photo I shoot as well as a hard copy is given to friends, family and clients. The hard copy is for them to read, so that they can't say later, "I didn't know that!"
