You’ve made some beautiful portraits, now what?
If you’re like me, composing the image, chit-chatting with your clients (so they feel at ease), then clicking the shutter is the easy part.  After the click you run through your workflow and voila, you have some sweet images and that’s why your clients hired you, well for that and your good looks.  But, what are you going to do with those killer images now?  How are you going to turn your pixels into profit?

Our workflow.
At our studio we shoot everything RAW, and whenever its possible we’ll shoot it in manual mode.  For portraiture, we use this odd piece of technology called a light meter.  Why a light meter?  Tight exposures.  If there is one thing that I’ve found out over the years, that proves itself over and over, a perfect exposure needs little fixing.  Especially when you are adding light to your images.  After the download and edit, each image is imported into Adobe LighRoom, tweaked and output as a TIFF, (so that when we work on the image and open and close the file integrity is lossless.)Please log in or sign up for a free Silver Account to access the rest of this articles and others
