We’ll come back to this one all the important stuff happens here. My wife uses a 3TB external drive plugged into her iMac. Mine is a 3TB internal drive on my Mac Pro tower. We abbreviate this drive as “WIP.” Every shoot you are currently working on goes here and nothing else. (Or Windows…I hear rumors that some photographers still use that?) I always use one hard drive that ONLY has the operating system and programs installed on it.
Hard drive #1: Operating system + Applications.What was their folder name again? And where the heck did you save it? Let’s save all that headache by setting up an easy to use and powerful organizational structure. “Hey, this is Beth-Jim and I got married last year and would like a canvas for our new house! Can I order that?” Then you consolidated things a few months after that and now you’ve got two or three copies of some sessions and you aren’t sure which one is the newest one.
Somewhere along the line you ran out of hard drive space and got an external drive and started downloading things to it. Some have some sort of clever numbering system you thought you’d use. Some have names first, some have dates first. You sit down at your computer, pop the cards into the card reader, create a folder called “Jim and Beth” and start downloading.įast forward a year later and your folders have different names. You rush home from your first shoot, excited to download and look at all the images. This tip of the week comes from guest blogger and Nashville photographer Sean McLellan of McLellan Style.
