Hey there, I have been shooting a couple of Autocross events recently. I intend to edit and give the photos I am happy with away free of charge. A person in the photos has requested the raw shots and I just want to hear some opinions as I am conflicted.
If you want to let the other person edit the images, give them the raws. If you don’t, don’t.
In a commercial setting, photographers usually don’t because the editing is part of the service the client is paying for, and someone else’s edits might be substandard, or at least not reflect the photographer’s style.
