I would not hire a photographer without the agreement specifying that I get to keep the raw files (either in addition to or instead of whatever retouching the photographer wanted to do).
I have met a few photographers who absolutely will not agree to that and it infuriates me. Must be some new trend of pro photographer influencer bull to hold your raws hostage.
The raws affect the photographer’s reputation, if someone else presents them as “This is some of that photographer’s work”
So watermark the raw as unedited or something so you can verify it wasn't your finished product. Don't lock me out of being unable to see the actual moment of me and my family.
it's not the "actual moment" though. Doesn't matter how unedited it looks like, how "actual" it feels it's still an image captured by a camera in a flawed way
