a different focus

consultancy : post capture to archive

I provide consultancy services to a number of mainly UK-based photographers on digital asset management and workflow.

Workflow automation and photographic database organization can seem a completely different mentality from shooting pictures. With a commercial background in the printing industry, and experience of big company systems, I've a rare blend of knowledge of photography and experience in DAM+P and cover the range from post-capture and post processing, right through to managing and getting value out of the archive.
