Whatare raw files?

Raw files are the unedited footage or photographs from a shoot, handed over alongside or instead of a finished edit. They let a business recut the material later without going back to the creator.

Whether you get them is a separate negotiation from whether you get the edit, and it should be settled before the shoot. Creators often resist because raw work can be recut badly and still carry their name.
