I recently spent close to two years in the New York city. During this time I dove into the world of fashion photography and subsequently retouching.

I spent a large amount of time assisting other photographers. It was this connection that allowed me to start a retouching house with a fellow photographer (Ryno Digital, LLC). After opening up shop, it took but a few months for us to call Condé Nast and Emap Publications clients.

The amount of work coming in was pretty hefty. Working aside someone else really made life easy and at the same time extremely tough. How do you know who did what to an image? How do you know if all the necessary steps have been completed on an image?

It was at the same time I was pondering these questions, that I was reading Getting Things Done by David Allen.

Lucky me.

And. Lucky you.

This week I’m going to divulge my process for working with large amounts of photos and how I used the GTD paradigm to help me, no pun intended, get things done. Keep an eye out for a few articles on the subject (and my top-secret PDF).
