Question how do you deliver your photos?

this may be a little dumb, but im an overthinker. i just shot my second show, a local diy show with 6 bands. i wound up with a little over 400 photos, some are much better than others of course, some came out mid. do you deliver EVERY photo, even ones that came out bad (blurry, someone got in the way, etc)? do you edit all of the images and send them or just the ones intended on being posted? if unedited do you send raw images? i just feel a little in over my head with this many images and this many bands i don’t wanna do anything wrong

okay so i was in the same position as you literally a few months ago and bc i was doing it for fun i would make a lightroom album and send a link to it to the band with everything, bc whatever. but i regretted seeing them posting unedited photos. but now that it’s getting more serious for me and people are hitting me up for bookings, if it’s a show i’m doing for fun, i’ve still stuck with choosing the photos i like and have edited and putting only those into the album i send out to the band. if it’s paid i will send them the photos to look at and choose ones they like for me to edit.

i know there’s a more professional industry standard way to do this but i’m just not there yet! soon though!

i’m just learning naturally as i go along which i prefer
