Further thoughts on worksflow

Have been thinking about workflow and how having a set approach and range of tools for every photo assignment could standarise the nuts and bolts of photography, giving rise to treating captured images in an efficient and regular way. With a standard process in place in the background, treating photographic output in a "production line" manner would this allow me to give more thought to the "execution of the image capture" ?

Here is workflow broken down.

Stage 1 - Planning
1. Receive commision or project or simply have an idea in your head for photoshoot.
2. Research subject - viewpoints, places of interest
3. Plan photoshoot whether this be views you would like to capture, lighting techniques you would like to try out or poses you would like your model to try. Bare in mind that this plan should have element of looseness and adaptabilty.

Stage 2 - Pre shoot checks
1. Check equipment, do you have all the cameras, lenses, accessories and so on. Do have have enough film and or memory cards. Are batteries fully charged?
2. Do you know how to use all relevant features of equipment? Might be no time to dip into instruction manual so pre-plan and if possible practice techniques beforehand.
2. Do you have a plan b should something stop working ? Again element of adaptabilty. Can you replan shoot another time or must it be done on the day?

Stage 3 - On the day
1. When taking photographs you can stick rigidly to plan mentioned in stage 1 and as in Excercise 1 or you can be more relaxed and open as in Excercise 2. this can depend on subject matter and many other factors.

Stage 4 - Developing Image
This stage will be similar for film and for digtial and involves any final corrections in the lab or on the computer. In my case I will be using computer.
1. Edit photographs to eliminate unsatisfactory shots.
2. Make any adjustments to photographs, whether this be cropping, colour balance, brightness and contrast or tidy up photograph in any way.
3. Review slection to provide further critique and ensure final selection is of best quality.
4. Save final image and add "keyword" data in photo software to ensure that you can find relevant picture.
