Photographers, generally gets uneasy when they hear the word “outsourcing”. Noway you would want to ruin your concept of the image by letting anyone do the post production.\u00a0I mean how could you be a photographer and outsource your work, is it even your work anymore? How can anyone else implement the vision you had while taking the shot?\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

We think the concept to outsource photo editing is one that is very hard for most photographers to tell themselves that it is the right choice, but we’re here to tell you, that at a certain point in your career, it most certainly is the right choice.<\/span><\/p>\n

If you\u2019ve ever read the E-Myth (and if you haven\u2019t go pick it up now!) it talks about how the death of a business is when the technician is always in control, that you need the manager and entrepreneur to play equal roles. When you, the photographer, spend all your time sitting at a computer editing your sessions, the technician is in control and consumes the time you could be doing management or entrepreneur work.<\/span><\/p>\n

The time would be much better spent putting your face out in the public, booking more clients, shooting additional sessions, or collaborating with other members of your community. Your time has value, and there comes a point that you are actually holding your business back by doing that type of work. There will become a point when your time holds a much higher value than the cost of paying to have your edits done by somebody else, you will in fact be saving your business money!<\/span><\/p>\n


\nSo when is a good time to consider it?
\n<\/span><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. \n

    \u00a0You need to know your style.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    You need to have it nailed because if you\u2019re going to be outsourcing that job, you need to be able to tell the company or person how to get the job done. And being able to describe your editing style is also something that you should feel comfortable doing and if you don\u2019t know how to answer that, then take a step back and evaluate your work some.<\/span><\/li>\n

  2. \n

    Have your SOOC pretty consistent and streamlined.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    This goes along with the above. But we do think it\u2019s worth mentioning, that it has been our experience, that even when you feel pretty good about your SOOC shots, once you start to outsource, we can almost promise you that they will get even better, consistent if you will. It just kind of happens that way.<\/li>\n

  3. \n

    Evaluate your time.<\/span><\/h3>\n

    This next piece is up to interpretation as each of our lives are filled very differently. But you need to evaluate how much of your time is consumed and if that\u2019s at a level that you\u2019re wanting it to be, maybe you\u2019d like another hour per day to spend with your family. Have you run out of hours in your day? It\u2019s time to asses when the number of sessions is<\/p>\n

    a) consistent
    \nb) at a point where you have run out of time to \u2018do-it-all.\u2019<\/li>\n

  4. \n

    \u00a0Maybe you don’t enjoy editing!<\/span><\/h3>\n

    Well this one may throw you off, but if you\u2019ve got your style figured out and you\u2019re rocking your SOOC; maybe you\u2019re not a \u2018professional\u2019 maybe you\u2019re shooting for YOU! But just like that other photographer, your time is precious and maybe, just maybe, you don\u2019t enjoy the editing. Yes, I think even as a hobbyist, choosing to outsource is totally reasonable and ok!<\/p>\n

    Now do you need all four steps checked off the list to decide to outsource? Absolutely not. We think 1 & 2 are essential to make the switch but then I think you either fall in category 3 or 4, not necessarily both.
    \nOutsourcing shouldn\u2019t be a big scary word that you avoid, and it shouldn\u2019t be something you take lightly either, but it is something that should make you happy. At the end of the day you should feel good about your choice, own it and start doing all those other things you could be doing with your time and business.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
