Obviously every session or shoot will be different but when I say "workflow" I am more or less talking about file management. It is important to manage your files in a way that allows you to go back and find them quickly even years down the road.
Growing up I was always a kid who thrived on systematic chaos. I always knew exactly where everything was even though it may have looked like a F5 tornado just tore through my bedroom.
Years later I adapted a similar mindset with my business. I figured I could just throw files in random folders and I would be able to find them when I needed them. This worked fine when I was just starting out and I wasn't booking very many jobs but as I got busier I knew that something had to change.
Sure, sifting through folders for hours on end never killed anybody, but why not use that time to do something productive?
I encourage you to check out the video below to see how I manage my files after a portrait session. In no way do I expect you to take my workflow and replicate it exactly, but hopefully it can be a jumping off point for you to create your own workflow that works best for you.
Cheers,
Jeff
