Well if there's only 15 then its rare
But it is more likely this is the case
As with making a traditional cine film
There would be a series of prints with slightly tweaked brightness or contrast to best represent the digital original
And what you are seeing in ubiworkhops pictures is one of those prints either the final copy, or the one that when photographed best represents the original to provide best lighting and detail
And these early runs or proofs are nearly always destroyed or held by the artist personally or held by the head of publishing, who usually has no use for them and either destroys them or sticks the final proof inn the archive depending on how the company works
