Just keep in mind that you see your failed shots, but not theirs.

I shoot sports a lot for work and I also get a lot of bad shots lol.

For me it is throwing a preset on every photo and calling it a “photography style.”

It’s especially frustrating with wedding photographers because people choose their wedding colors carefully and then the photog comes and desaturates the gorgeous blue they picked out and just says “well that’s just my style.”

1- “all my photos are the same color” isnt really a photography style to me, and 2. Imo, a good photographer (especially wedding photographer) should be able to capture the environment around them, and that just takes a lot more than slapping a preset over them and adjusting nothing.

Yes this. Minis five the photographer less time to get great shots. I see a lot of people try to start with minis and I feel it is SO backwards.

I know a lot of people keep raw files forever but I trash them after a couple of months - six, tops - unless it’s something I REALLY think I’ll revisit. I never go back and look at them, so they’re just clutter for me, and when there are too many I get overwhelmed when I need to find something and have to weed through thousands of images.

I keep the jpgs I delivered and that is it
