I always had two copies of the photos made. One for the client and one for me. I always gave all the photos and the negatives (their set only) to the client. That was before I switched to a digital camera. I kept my set of photos and the possibility that I can get figurative paintings, to sell, from my set of the photos. I treat every commission as if they are modeling for me. I take some photos for me and some for the client. They get free photos and I get free models. They pay for the portrait. I have done hundreds of these portraits and never had a problem with the client comparing the photo to the drawing. The drawing is always better than the photo.
