Before the Camera Comes Out: What a New Zealand Wilderness Shoot Teaches Us About Photographic Workflow
There’s a version of photography workflow that lives entirely inside a computer. Batch actions, export presets, color grading pipelines. That’s most of what I think about in my day job. But every so often I watch something that reminds me that the most important part of the workflow happens before you ever open Photoshop. In this William Patino tutorial filmed in Fiordland National Park, New Zealand, William walks through the complete end-to-end process of a serious landscape shoot: the map research, the multi-hour hike through boggy rainforest, the scouting decisions made on the fly when the terrain doesn’t match the map.
