PhotographyClient Communication & Experience4HighOwner$ implied
Photographer delivered 175 edited photos after 20-25 hours of editing, but client claimed they were unedited and demanded a refund due to unmet retouching expectations (e.g., hair strands).
No standard way to show clients work-in-progress or get approval before final delivery, leading to disputes over what constitutes 'edited' vs 'retouched'.
