Post Production - The Photographers Workflow

This was the second part of our first task this morning.

First task was to write up, with images, a given topic, my group had Import, we were to discuss and post to Padlet our findings.

The second part was to produce an infographic (individually) containing the information we discussed and investigated and posted to paflet this morning as a group

This infograph was created in Adobe Spark and downloaded as a jpeg

A Photographer’s Workflow - Infographic

Our second task was to make an infographic showing the six stages of a photographer’s workflow. I tried out Canva to make one, it took me a little while to get my head around using it but its quite simple once you know how to work it. Once completed, I saved my infographic as a JPEG to my MacBook Finder.

My Photography Workflow Part 1 - Import / Edit (Select)

There are a few stages to this part of the workflow, the examples of which I am showing in Adobe bridge

First, open bridge and click on essentials tab

Then click on the camera icon to import the images you want

A new window opens giving you options for where to download from, where to download too, create sub-folder

In this case I’m downloading from my sd card to a sub folder - Inspired by Art - Still Life.  I’m not renaming the files at this stage but I do want the images to open in Adobe Bridge and I also want to save a backup of my files to my external f: drive

You can then choose to click on advanced options which allows you to not include any images you don’t want. In this case I have unselected some photos I took of the the class powerpoint which I did not want included. Then click get media to download images

I now want to view the images I have in my folder so I click on the refine button and choose review mode

This takes me into review mode where I can get a better view of my images

To decide on which images to use I then went back to the folder, and below each image are a set of stars.  I have put 5 - 3 stars against the images that I will definitely move to the next stage, plus options for replace

In this window you can see on the left how many of each starred images there are, and on the right the information pertaining to each image as you click on it

I am now ready to move on to the next phase, that is, optimising the images I have chosen

Capture to Output

A Photographer’s Workflow - Padlet

The first part of today’s Post Production class was to think about the steps a photographer takes from capturing an image to the final product. We were put into breakout rooms on zoom, with each room being assigned a different process to write up about on Padlet. Thank you to @photographyby-hayley for typing and posting about editing on Padlet on behalf of our group :)

My Photography Workflow  Part 2 - Optimise

In this section I’ve chosen one image from my still life images to optimise

First of all I imported to Lightroom from Bridge the image I wanted to optimise, you can do this by drag and drop then follow the open window instructions or you can click on import which takes you to the same windows if you want to import from a folder

Next I changed the view of the image in the middle to loupe, so that I could see it a bit better

On the left of the image is a preview and history of what has been / is going to be done to this image, on the left is the histogram

Next I went to develop, this allows me various choices to optimise my image - see on the left below the histogram

I didn’t want to do very much to this image, and I wanted to keep it low-key so I lowered the exposure a fraction and the contrast, but I didn’t want to lose to much of the vibrance in the colours so raised that to no more than 5 as I still wanted to keep the old look, I also did some noise reduction

As you can see from the two histograms, on left before, on right after, that there has not been much change to the image, only the low key impression seems to have gone further to the left of the histogram, which is exactly what I wanted. The small changes in the peaks of the colours, I’m assuming relate to the changes in those actual colours in my image.
