For years, photography services were based on the
sale of a picture package. Negatives and copyrights were
held tightly by those taking the pictures. Prints were produced "in
house" and this part of the service offered the largest
challenge and was the primary income
producer. Although there are a few
photographers still using the film media and developing and
printing their own prints, most have converted over
to the far more friendly, digital media. The computer and
programs like PhotoShop have replaced the darkroom.
Most print production is sub-contracted out to firms who
only do printing. While the workload is no longer based on
print production, fees are still based on a print package.
Why should you pay hundreds
or even thousands of dollars for prints you could get at
Wal-Mart for $59.95?
