When the client asks for "all the RAW files..." 😳
"Sure, I guess I can send them over..."
(Hands over 40GB of flat, unedited, grey-looking files that require $600 software just to open) 💀
Here’s the truth: most people don't actually want RAW files. They want the finished masterpiece. Asking a creator for RAW files is like ordering raw chicken at a 5-star restaurant and asking for a discount because you'll cook it at home.
RAW files are just the ingredients—flat colors, massive file sizes, and no contrast. The real magic happens in the color grading, lighting correction, and polish that turn a simple shot into a high-impact visual that elevates your brand or event.
Unless you're planning to spend hours color-grading in Log formats, you don't want the RAWs. You want the polished, head-turning final product that makes your audience stop scrolling.
