I could be the poster child for all-over-the-map-edits! Thank you so much for sharing this, it’s helped narrow my focus

Thanks! I actually have developed a style. And I was feeling like I should be using different looks, cross process, vintage, etc. I could never get them to look “right” and usually went back to my rich dark jewel tones. I’ll still play and experiment, but now I don’t feel as if I’m missing something.

My problem is I like so many different styles, and at different times/stages in my life! I have found though that lately I’ve been sticking to a vintage look which works well with all the photos I’ve tried it on (I made it into an action)…which is something I was looking for. But in a few months, I might like something else!

Very insightful, thanks for sharing For taking notes, I find it also helps to cement the memory because it’s one thing to tell yourself “Ok remember this forever”, but those thoughts can fade away pretty fast. From personal experience, I’ve also taken to storing my notes online so I can access them anywhere on the go… with tools like Google Drive (for documents and spreadsheets) or Evernote with the added benefit that you can keep those notes private.

Thank you so much for this! After every shoot, I dread editing because it takes me sooo long and yes, I am all over the place in terms of warm vs cool or even warm vs warmer, etc. I love to shoot and do thing differently but then the thought of post processing has been dragging me down!.

The advice to pick a few presets and stick with those as opposed to being all over the rainbow (my insertion, because that is what I am, lol) was sooo helpful for me! Even the advice to maintain an overall feel for the specific scene/setting was wonderful since I often find myself with different looks for multiple or even single photos! I <3 u guys!!

Thank you! Thank you! Thank you!

…make that “a little BIT of a difference”… I think I need to do a better job of proof reading!

Have you been reading my mind??? LOL Thank you so much for this article! I seriously have been thinking about this A LOT the last cpl of days. Also, I have a “situation” for you. My daughter and I work together on most of our shoots. We have a little it of a diference in editing styles (not huge tho). What would YOU suggest we do to make sure that the photos in each session look similar?
