One of the questions that we get asked often is what happens to the photos after a photoshoot?
Many people think that we take the pictures, then upload the photos, which is often what people do when they have been to a party and want the pictures on Facebook quickly.
So what do we do?
First we put all the photos on to our computer, and at this stage put keywords into the photos so that they can be found quickly if need be.
The photos are then backed up to blueray discs and to additional hard drives. We would hate to loss any photos having taken them.
Next we go through the photos and remove any where people have been blinking or dont look very good.
If we have carried out a photoshoot at an event that the local paper might be interested in, then we pick a few photos and fast track them through the rest of the processing stage, so that the paper can pick them up often within a few hours of an event.
We go through the photos a number of times and whittle them down to what our team feel are the best images.
These images are then run through photoshop to carry out sharpening, colour saturation and any other processes that we feel are necessary to make them look fantastic. This might involve airbrushing, blemish removal or retouching.
Once the images are created they are all backed up many times and then small versions are created along with relevant web pages and posted on www.kelticrose.co.uk with some being put on www.facebook.com/kelticrose and of course some used on this very blog.
The images are then available to buy for around 4 months before they are removed from our website and in many cases the images files are then deleted..
