Four essays on the post-shoot workflow: what breaks between capture and usable work, and how to fix it.
A two-hour shoot becomes a two-week delivery. The photography was never the bottleneck. The handoff was.
"I liked the third one from that series." Which series. Which one. The team is describing images to each other instead of looking at the same thing.
A month after the shoot, someone asks for the approved high-res files. You find three exports. None of the filenames tell you which one went to the client.
The same request comes back. Each pass (client selects, photographer selects, retouching, finals) starts over instead of building on what the last one decided.
