Posted: 23 Mar 2012 10:52 PM PDT I’m not a professional photographer. But I do take a lot of photographs and if I’ve learned anything in my time behind a camera it helps to learn from the pros.
Two months ago, I had 6,500+ photographs in my hard drive. I had no idea which ones I liked best, when they were taken or whether they were worth keeping. More worryingly, I had no back up copies of any of them in case of a disaster. In short, my photo organization was a mess ( for those of you reading this by email you can see the video here).
My photography workflow:- Download images to ‘Raw files’ folder on desktop
- Create new Lightroom catalogue (or use existing)
- Import photos with generic keywords (rendering 1:1 previews)

Posted: 06 Mar 2012 09:37 PM PST One thing to note about digital photos before we on… the picture format which you use. If you’ve set you digital camera to capture in JPEG format, it is likely you’ve encounter some loss of quality in the picture due to image compression. In this case, it does make sense to apply sharpening on the photo. If, however, you’ve selected to shoot in RAW mode, then you’ll unlikely face any image degradation – sharpening a RAW image isn’t necessary as often.

 What I learned very quick in my starting activity as a freelance-photographer is that, all work be damned, you have exceedingly little control over your assignment-flow. Sure, you can make a great website/jolly facebookpage/stellar portfolio. But making people to call you now, now now! is rather hard.
As idleness is the devil’s playground, I decided to explore the world of stock-photography. Making great, self-assigned images and then relaxing in a chair while money trickled in: easy as pie! Lately I found myself enthralled by nature photography which of course lend itself even more to the cause. Creating an account, choosing three pictures, sending them in ‘pending for approval’ and away we would go!
Or so I thought.
