How do you organize your photos?

[Graham]

Hey photographers, it’s hard to believe we’re already well into the summer. With brighter and longer days, I’ll probably be getting out and taking photos a little more regularly, which got me wondering about the best way to organize my photos. 

I’m not gonna lie, my current system is far from ideal. I have Camera uploads turned on and my photos make their way to Dropbox and then they just stay where they are, which isn’t really helpful if I want to find a photo. This is something that I want to improve. I’ve already been inspired by how one of my team mates, Emmet, organizes his photos, but I wanted to hear how some of you experts are doing it, too.

Are you organizing by shoot, by client, by subject, or by something completely different? Are you using automations, changing naming conventions or doing anything else to help make the way you organize your photos easier, or do you go through everything at the end of the day and find a home for it in your Dropbox account?

Whatever you’re doing to keep your photos organized, I’d love to hear about it and you could potentially help ‌inspire me and some of our other group members to get our photos a little more organized.
