Hi Everyone 

Today I am going to briefly look at some editing tips for the event photographer in Scotland.  Of course a lot is dependant on the timescales for completion of the photos by the client, but there are still some basic rules that would help any corporate and conference photographer Scotland.  So here we go:

1. Don’t try any new software or routine when you are editing a corporate photoshoot. Practice on any new systems prior to any commissioned work.

2. Make sure your equipment is all ready prior to the event ie lots of hard drive memory, pc or Mac working fast enough, internet ok, software updated.

3. Go through all the photos and work through images that could be included in the final batch for the client but don’t do any complicated editing yet, just keep the hopeful ones in a folder.  Then you want to do some basic editing ie exposure,  colour balance, crop.

4. The next stage is identifying any specific photos from your conference photography in Edinburgh and carry out the more complicated edits ie black and white conversions, removal of any unwanted objects, enhancing the portraits etc.

5. Check your final batch and remove any images that are similar or not good enough, then sharpen images if required.  I use Photoshop, Nik filters by DXO and Canon software, but it’s important that you establish a routine.  You also need to try and limit the time you spend editing.  Time is money and the object should be to get it right when you take the photo.  You can’t spend hours and hours editing and it’s not necessary if you are organised enough.

Hope all the helps your corporate event photography in Scotland.  Until next time.

Kind Regards

Colin
