Thank you very much for this honest and to-the-point video, Peter. For a few years, I’ve been thinking of making a side hustle of my photography, but what has kept me from doing that was the thought, would I actually shoot more if I did? So instead I cut my dayjob to 80% and devote the freed up time to shoots and postprocessing. So maybe I made the right choice.
Yeah 100% believe photography should be a passion not the pressure of trying to make money, glad to hear you made the right choice
Fantastic video! Matter of Fact and exactly what I needed to hear today.
Thank you.
I’m glad it helped
I know this is an older video now, but are you aware now that lightroom doesn’t have to change files into DNG’s.
If not, then on import, rather than ‘Copy as DNG’, you can select just ‘Copy’. Then it handles the raw files as is.
Loving your videos btw. Particularly interested in seeing your take on the different styles of photos, such as what’s the difference in Editorial, fashion, e-commerce, art, commercial etc. What makes each style sit in its own category. How to change one type into another.
Thanks so much Kenneth, yes Lightroom made the change late 2022 and now I am really enjoying using it. I’ll try do a video on different styles of photos soon, thanks for the suggestion.
