More Organized Photographs

Post written by photo blogger Andrew Fleury

I just got a satellite internet WAconnection to manage my photography business online. Online photographic content management begins at home, on my hard drive, in Windows Explorer. Every new image is uploaded to New Images. After I have worked them up in Photoshop, I will sort them according to where they will end up. Images for sale will go to the Stock folder and I will rename them after upload using the name assigned by the online agency, which is usually a series of numbers. Images for friends remain in the New Images folder until I can zap them over via email. After that, I will sort further. Images for friends or acquaintances for whom I have no email address are uploaded online, usually to Facebook. After that, I will sort them further into my folders or delete them. Fortunately, I have wildblue satellite internet service and it does not take long to upload all of these images!

For special occasions, I usually want a physical image in my hand. For those images, I move to my Prints Wanted folder until I can upload to whomever is having the best deal on printed images. I name those images using the number assigned by my camera, preceded with the name of the main subject and an underscore sign. If I should get sloppy, I would soon have a mass of faces without a proper folder.
