In this week's video, I talk about why I believe editing your photos sooner than later makes for a much better photography experience. It may seem like a meaningless idea, but I think it's quite an important discussion for photographers. Join me in this week's video and let me know your views in the comments below!

Great Topic! If working with clients, there are some aditional positive aspects when delivering the photos as early as possible: - every client is happy when they get everything quickly - it's a huge plus point - if some corrections are needed, there is enough time before the deadline (Print, other Release). - i usually produce a few thousands pics a week. Editing all the stuff immediately and sending them to clients is an additional safety measure, because there are less possibilities that something can go wrong. Whenever i had loads of images accumulating, there where lots of troubles. Either something with the backup not working perfectly, or me accidentally deleting something etc.. You just have way more chaos. - Peace of mind - it just feels really good delivering things quickly and here in Austria (Europe) people are very punctual.

Great points! Having that extra buffer of time to really start finalizing and correcting the image is really a big difference maker in my opinion to getting the most out of an image! And like you mentioned, it's also a great safety measure. Thanks for watching!

there are many downsides of editing photos right after the shoot or couples of days later. Emotions are indeed the main topic that pushes you to think about this crucial decision. As you said you retain a vivid memory of the moment and that alone might look like the most logical thought to have right away and you also mentioned the practical factors that goes into play. Also the learning curve is massive if you do as you said, rewiewing your photos with self critiques is super important. but and there is a but.. as you progress with photography you can approach your shots differently... a more slow pace rewiew of your photos is a far more rewading experience for many reasons. not to mention that a long time ago the first photographers had to wait many hours to develop their photos and then apply things like what we call nowadays "dodge and burn" techniques to lead to a better results. i think waiting longer gives you the fresh eye perpective as you said but most importantly it makes a huge difference in terms of emotions. you detach from what was the experience and by doing so your edtiing can't be any better cause you took more time to think and more time to think leads to a better result. also if you rush ypur edting you can easily overlook certain parts of the picture that you might then regret later that you didnt touch. what i usually do is wait 1 week or even more and then take enough time to editing one singol photo at the time and the i let every photo marinate for hours of days so then i can come back and rewiew it as many times as i wwant until i m happy. this is far a better chioce even tho you trade practical workflow vs mindfull workflow. very different approach leads to different results. i think nobody should rush photography.. one day you might take 1000 photos another one just 1 or even none. what is important is to experince photography and dont get lost in everything else. photography is emotion, photography is about the present moment photography is anout experiences.

You make a great point, especially with really evaluating your photos with a fresh eye as you mentioned! Our emotions can get the best of us at times and confuse photos that may be special to us for memory sake rather than for photography sake. For those reasons, I always tend to look at the photos I love and would consider "portfolio worthy" shots over a long span, maybe every year, and really start to ask myself why I like the photo and if the reasons are merely for my memory sake, then chances are others won't think the same. But you are right! We are all different as photographers and what workflow works best for some photographers may not work for others. It really is about experimenting and seeing what works best with us! Thanks for watching!
