I do photography as a side job. 100% self taught, and I think my lack of education when it comes to photo organization is going to catch up to me.

My current process is:

  • Back up photos on hard drive

  • Cull photos on my Mac by “tagging” them, and moving the tagged photos to Lightroom

  • Move them to the appropriate file in Lightroom. Photos are organized by subject > year > name/date. This also serves as a backup.

  • When I send photos to clients, I copy the photos to a floating file on my desktop and share them on a Google drive file. I do this because it (was) free and easy, except now I’m paying 9.99 a month for for more storage

This doesn’t seem like an ideal process to me. I don’t know what I don’t even know. Does anyone have a streamlined process they want to brag about?

    I don’t get why you’re culling images before taking them to Lightroom

    Honestly, me either. I guess I never considered culling them their, but the star rating seems way more streamlined
