This is an interesting and timely discussion for me, as I am sitting here looking at a bunch of photographs I recently took of a model. All the poses turned out very well, and all could make nice paintings. I had told her I would give her some (especially since she said she only has a few photographs of herself that she likes), but don't want to give her the exact pictures I would do paintings from.
Before, when I've done kids, it was relatively easy to just pick a few where the child was smiling or something, and give that to the parents. In this case, she was an excellent model and held almost the same facial expression the whole time, so I have no different expressions to choose from. She has a beautiful upper lip, however her natural relaxed position is to have her mouth slightly open (it looks funny closed) thus the same expression.
It's interesting reading everyone's ideas about giving out photos. I may have to bite the bullet on this one, give her the photos, and not offer photos to the next model, particularly if they're an adult. At least they don't have a personal website.
