Sounds made up, I don’t believe it.

Arrr, what dickery be this “Hulu”?

Smelania? That’s not very nice.

Yikes, looks like my post got spammed when the server had some issues. Sorry about that.

Ah, I thought you were talking about portrait/group photos. Yeah, that’s a different story.

Talk to them instead of trying to instruct them: Make jokes, carry on conversation, but keep shooting while you do it. It will look more natural and people will tend to look towards you when you converse with them. I’ve had the chance to talk to some world renown photographers and one of the best pieces of advice I got in regards to shooting portraits was, “Keep them talking, you’ll end up with something good.”

Praise Adam West!

I kinda feel like something is lost in digital, but the process of creating photos is objectively way easier, more forgiving with mistakes, and much faster. I still prefer digital lol

Professional, amateur, whatever, as long as you keep shooting and striving to improve. I’ve seen “pros” who couldn’t find their own asshole with a GPS and a team of proctologists and “amateurs” who consistently blew me away with incredible shots. Getting paid doesn’t necessarily mean you are a great photographer, it just means you made money.

These days, my process is open them in a file browser with large previews, then select what to crop/adjust, and save it to another folder for edits of that particular shoot after editing in GIMP.

Back in the day it was generally Adobe Bridge > Photoshop > send to fileshare > try to double check that copy desk did not fuck up the captions again after the files are updated (God damn it, they did almost every time and I may or may not have caught it in time) > Publication but each places kind of has their own work flow that they may or may not expect you to adhere to to varying degrees of faithfulness. Some places didn’t give a fuck as long as you got the final product in a usable format, others insisted you do it The Right Way™.

I will also leave you with this quote: “The surest way to ruin a hobby you love is to make it a profession.”

Same lol, this is part of why I switched careers (that, and being poor and without good health insurance sucks).
