Russ Local photographers here - covering Amateur Drama - are now simply delivering the whole caboodle on CD. It's not quite work-for-hire but the recipients can print as many as they like. That's got a lot of attraction for me - stop worrying about copyright, almost no post production effort (the customer has to print their own and probably wouldn't pay more than a couple of quid per shot anyway). There's no detailed admin ... handing out proof sheets and collating + collecting reprint orders. Almost no "editing" either ... apart from the real dross everything ends up on the CD. The photog gets a flat fee for covering the event + some variable costs depending on numbers of CDs sold. Ain't digital wonderful. Bob PS ... it might not be shot-gun photography in your hands but for new camera owners that seems to be exactly what it is :o)
