The first thing I do after I get my photo's back is throw away about 1/2 of them. I usually do this before I leave the photo store. I then take the rest home and go through them again and throw away more. I might end up with what I consider to be the best 5. This could be 5 out of fifty. I don't want anyone seeing my bad or marginal photo's. I make the really hard judgements before the client ever sees them. From the small bunch that is left I usually make my choice based on my own prejudices and make my pitch with one or two photo's.
I make an 8x10 of the one I paint and then put that photo in a file with other photo's that made paintings. Any other hard copies, usually 4x6, I file with the client paperwork.
I keep the negatives of the good photos in a file. If somebody wants copies I don't mind making some extra copies. I sorta consider it as part of the package.
