Don’t forget about those old photos
Here’s a pretty good tip: never forget about old photos. I was backing up some old photos the other day and came across some that I had forgotten about.
After I do a shoot, the first thing I do following it is an initial edit of my shots. Depending on when the deadline is, will dictate when I do my second edit. If it’s a personal shoot, I usually don’t do a second edit until 3 or 4 days later. For me, I find that I really need to separate myself from the experience of taking the pictures.
