About the Project

The Raw Files is a project created by Mclain (Mac) of 'Swift Images' & Rob of 'Rob Caleffi Photography' and is currently in it's fourth year.

The premiss of the project involves each photographer working with a model over the course of a year (or as long as we can keep the model!) and all parties sharing their experiences here. Rob and Mclain also share thoughts on photography, behind the scenes, product reviews, and tips and tricks as they relate to photography.

We encourage you to feel free to leave comments on our posts and share your thoughts with us, and please, curl up with your laptop and your beverage of choice one lazy afternoon and read the project from the beginning.

free photography (rob)

very very true. if you are giving your services for free, you will eventually be jaded, drained and bitter. i understand the desire to click your camera button in a way that feels necessary. but it is exactly the same as being a girls 'best friend.' you are performing in the hopes that some day you will be valued in a way that is truly gratifying. but if you are giving your pics away for free, it is like giving your love away from free... in both cases you may as well go home, jerk off, and save yourself the time, effort and heartbreak!
women who just want to be friends, and companies who don't want to pay will drain your soul and make you bitter.
lol.
