📸 About This Episode
You’ve come home from a shoot with hundreds of photos on your camera — and no system for what to do next. This episode is that system. Seven practical steps you can follow in about thirty minutes after every shoot. By the end, your photos are safe, organised, selected, and improved. And you’ve learned something for next time.
📋 The Seven Steps
1. Get the photos off your camera the same day — not tomorrow
2. Create a simple Category > Year > Location folder structure and use it every time
3. Do a ten-minute first cull — delete the obvious disasters
4. Pick your one best photo from the whole session
5. Back up before you go to bed — every single time
6. Edit your best photo properly — not everything
7. Write down one thing you would do differently next time
