How I Edit My Photos | My Complete Photography Workflow

I swear google is spying on me with these recommendations lol

I just purchased your preset pack and Burleigh alt fade is exactly what I have been looking for. Thank you.

Get a 321 backup plan

Just to note, narrative select isn't free. There's a pricing system in place with their service

Hi Mitch. I didn't find burleigh portrait match in the last preset update. But there is a burleigh alt. Is it just another name or is there no burleigh portrait match preset in your pack so far? Thank you.

Do you sharpen your images in processing or is sharpening during export enough for you?
I always feel that my images need some sharpening.

Excellent video my friend! I have a shoot coming up and Narrative Select is going to save me so much time.

Hi Mitch, after you cull your photos with Narrative Select, how do you quickly delete bad photos from all your drives? I'm having trouble doing it efficiently, especially after making the initial backup copies of my SD card.

I'm a beginner so I'm eating storage like crazy and needing to figure out better file management and space saving tips!

Thanks so much

Thank you so much for sharing all of those knowledges 🙏🏾
Also, I really admire your work!

you deserve way more followers

You are so quiet and easy to follow thanks

Can we get a link to the song please????

Found your channel a few weeks ago, have had this video on watch later since it came out... so packed with quality and information, amazing!!!

How i adore your work so much beautiful photos 🥰❤

Not gonna lie, the presets are my least favorite. Proof that there isnt a one size fits all!

Great video! Actually I was expecting a little more depth on the way you edit your photos from start to finish and how you achieve the film look, instead of applying a preset.

i love the music. What a way to start the video! it's nice to hear something new like your intro

Mitch. I love your style man

I bought your presets a few days ago and started to apply them and change them a bit on some of my photos and honestly, they're the presets I like the most. Your style is so simple and clean. I'm a big fan.

All Narrative needs is to support Windows, kinda bummed to find out that they aren't supporting it yet.

Thanks for showing off your workflow. I must admit this editing style is certainly not for everyone. It's a little on the flat side for my taste (sucks the color out of the picture) but that's my humble opinion.

Capture One > LR

How do I get the updated present pack?

what’s that monitor you’re using ?

Two little things that I found out to be helpful is to name folders in yy/mm/dd as like that you will always find them in chronological order.
Secondly I have saved exporting profiles so that once I am ready I can export for web (low res with watermark) a set for proofing and an other set for full size printing. In the export I have them set to take the folder name l, sequential and to place them in the original folder ( names web, prof & full size) . Their keeps my hard drive organised sequentially and knowing that the job is compleat especially in your case where you are using a new catalog on every shoot.

Nice video. Thanks. I like the Narrative app tip. I too find the "magic" jpg instagram format isn't so magic. I've put numerous sizes up and don't really notice much of a difference.

Nothing like film!

Gunnnnn!

Really appreciate this!

Much love 🤍

Since half your presets are named after beach settings on the GC I should name my main one "The Spit" since I shoot there all the time haha

Lightroom aint it anymore. Gotta switch to Capture One

What computer set up do you use?!

Nice

Thanks for the shout-out Mitch!

you don't get money from shooting those models right? because you're the one who call them up for a collab. im curious :)

thanks for the workflow. previously, I dont have proper workflow on editing RAW. this video really helps

great video bro!

Hello and thanks for the video!
Let me tell you about my photo storage system. I bought a NAS server from Synology with 4 SATA slots. There are newer versions that support M.2 SSD + SATA HDD/SSD.
I installed 2 x 6 TB HDDs in it and configured them in RAID 1 (mirroring). If one of the hard drives fails, the server will inform me about it. It will be enough for me to buy a new HDD and replace it. Then the server will do everything itself, duplicate the photos on a new drive.
Also, it is advisable to buy an APC Smart UPS for the server, so that during power outages, UPS sends a command to properly shut down the server and after the electricity is restored, UPS turns on the server on its own.
The advantage is that I have access to it from anywhere in the world.
Once, we were vacationing in Greece on a yacht. The customer wrote to me that he urgently needs photos from a shoot a year ago. He asked if I could send them to him? I logged into the server through a mobile application, created access to that shooting and sent a link to the customer. Everyone is happy.
I recommend!

good video but your camera is blocking the histogram throughout the video, even when you use it to edit

With the photos you don't choose, would you delete them or keep em?

Helpful video. Thanks, Mitch. Would love to see how you achieved the look of your Photographing Tasmania film in your next video.

Hey @Mitch Lally any tips/videos for approaching models to offer free/practice photoshoots ? or ways to communicate (email? social media) thanks!

Is Narrative like Photo Mechanic? Also does it use AI.

The small jpg export was a great tip Mitch!🙏

Mitch.. I've been using a software called Carbon Copy Cloner. I will offload from SD to a working SSD. CCC will clone all files automatically to my backup HD. You should check it out. Glad to see this culling program (I've never seen it before).

Fantastic video Mitch, the best and clearest guide on workflow I've come across.
Quite surprised you only have a few TBs of data per year, considering all shoots and videos.

So all your original RAWs are only saved to those portable hard disks? Not a RAID system or dropbox too?

such great lesson thanks brother

Excited for new preset update. I got an email update last year. Thanks Mitch!

RIP i bought your preset pack authentic film end of 2020 and i have never had an email telling me theres a free update. bought from sellfy store.
