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.

    Say no.

    If you give them your raw files then they will essentially own your image and use it for whatever they want, edited how they want.

    Provide Jpeg only, and with a maximum width of 2048px which is suitable for all social media.

    Say you take these pictures for free, and a rider becomes famous, or dies, or in twenty years there’s an exhibition on the history of the sport - you want to be the person in control of those images.
