Now, how do others handle their photo management? Take Kristin Metcalfe, who roams around early mornings with an iPhone and a Canon Rebel DSLR taking dawn photos and posting them on Instagram as post shared by ~* Kristin Leigh Metcalfe *~ doesn't rename photos or make albums of her smartphone photos but instead relies on Apple's "Places" tool within the Apple Photos app to find images. Facebook, Twitter and Instagram lower the resolution of your images drastically, so don't think of them as online backup, just as a place to showcase your best work. I'll also share them on social media, but beware. Then, I'll save just the ones that are worth keeping, and upload them to SmugMug and Amazon. Phone photos get imported to the computer after the shoot as well, and get viewed in Lightroom, where the larger real estate of the computer screen allows me to see them properly. (Because why not, it's free? Also, Amazon has several advantages, which I'll outline below.) Additionally, I upload everything to Amazon's Photos app, which offers free, unlimited storage for members of the Prime program so I have a second copy.
I then upload the folder to SmugMug, the subscription service for online backup and ad-free display, and copy the folder from the first hard drive to a second one, for safe keeping.
I bulk name each photo (Sunsets1219) so that they pop out with a numerical order (Sunsets1219-1, Sunsets1219-2, etc.) Camera photos get imported to my computer and an external hard drive, where I create a specific folder for the name of the shoot, say, "Manhattan Beach sunset, December 2020." I use Adobe Lightroom Classic, subscription software which starts at $9.99 monthly (great for photo organization and edits).
