Now that you have asked the right questions, figured out your purpose and defined your photography workflow steps, what do you do to make everything more efficient ? Is there something extra to be done to tie everything together in a nice and smooth process ? While I believe that there is nothing you can do to eliminate hard and repetitive work, there is one thing you can do to make all that hard work…easier.

In my last two articles I have written about basic questions to ask when creating or modifying your photography workflow. However, what do you do after asking these foundational questions ? Where do you start analysing your current workflow? This article will explain the simplest steps of a photography workflow…this is the “ABC” of photography workflow.

You’ll probably ask immediately: good enough for what? Well…that’s exactly the perfect question to ask when it comes to your photography workflow. My last article deals with some basic questions you have to ask before making drastic changes to your existing photography workflow. This article is a variation on the same theme but with a twist. I hope you like the twist

It is my belief that while there are general steps in a photographer’s workflow, each photographer will have his/her own workflow customised to fit his or her purpose. That being said, I also believe that there a few questions that each photographer should ask when contemplating changes to their photography workflow.

Workflow is a new buzz word that appears everywhere from making cars to mowing your lawn. Photographers also love to talk about their workflow and how their workflow is more efficient than another workflow. In this article I want to take a step back and look at what a workflow is and in particular to see its application to photography.
