Photography Explained Podcast Episode 199 - Top Tips To Help You Manage Your Digital Photo Catalogue

You need to organise your photos on your computer so you can find any photo quickly and easily. Once you have done that, you have the small matter of looking after that precious collection of photos, which, as a photographer, is your everything. I don’t want to overstate this—as a photographer, your photos should be your everything. Without them, what have you got?

In this episode, I tell you

• Why this is important
• Why you need to get rid of the rubbish (and what it is)
• How to add data to photos.
• How to use software tools to keep things organised.
• How will this help you today, tomorrow, and in the future.

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do
• And what I did (don’t do this)
• And a little bit about me.

All explained in plain English, without the irrelevant detail, in (much) less than 27 (ish) minutes!

What is not to love? How utterly splendid!

You need to organise your photos on your computer so you can find any photo quickly and easily. You need to come up with a filing system that you can add to over the years as you take more and more photos. And you need to be able to keep track of all the photos in the catalogue so you know which photos you have edited, the good stuff you have not yet edited, your best stuff and any rubbish you might have. You need to get rid of any rubbish and any photos that you do not like or need.

Yep, that is my one photo rule in twelve words. Splendid.

In this episode, I tell you

• Why we need to organise our photos.
• How I organise my photos in a single catalogue.
• The folder structure I use for all my photos.
• Where my photos are stored.
• Lots of good talky stuff.
• What to do with the rubbish.

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do
• And a little bit about me.

I want to get straight into taking better photos, beginning with taking fewer photos. We can all take fewer photos and, in the process, take better photos, and in this episode, I am going to tell you how. And yes, I will revisit my one photo rule. And here it is.

• “Take the time to take the best one photo of one thing.”

Yep, that is my one photo rule in twelve words. Splendid.

In this episode, I tell you

• Where did my one photo rule come from?
• Why I only take two photos of a sunrise
• How I take fewer but better photos of buildings
• Why was I taking so many photos?
• How you can take fewer photos but better photos

I also tell you

• What if you use a phone to take photos
• What I do
