Lightroom Editing, Culling, film matching

Offering:

You're a professional photographer who has poured their heart, soul (and sleep) into this business. You serve wonderful clients and you're confident in your style and process but something's always missing... Your time.
You know that at this point in your career, to continue scaling your business financially means you need to delegate tasks that don't require you personally. This is where I come in as your private editor!

imagine this

instead of:

• SPENDING YOUR NIGHTS IN FRONT OF THE COMPUTER;

• MISSING PRICELESS TIME WITH FAMILY AND FRIENDS;

• HAVING A MONTHS-LONG EDITING QUE = UNHAPPY CLIENTS;

• NOT HAVING ANY TIME LEFT TO WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS;

• SHOOTING LESS BECAUSE IT'S TOO MUCH WORK AFTER;

you could be:

Spending your nights in front of the computer;
missing priceless time with family and friends;
having a months long editing que  = unhappy clients;
not having any time left to work on your business;
shooting less because it's too much work after;


snuggling with loved ones and actually resting;
taking long overdue holidays without guilt;
delivering in a matter of days and exciting your clients;
focusing on reaching the next level in business;
shooting more and making more money overall;


" Taking editing off my plate produced more income overall "

"I don’t think I can go back to editing full weddings myself after this experience. I fully trust you, and I never expected to be this happy. I am 100% ready to pass on my weddings to you from now on. Thank you so much!"

"Ivana! I cannot believe how quickly and how wonderfully you edited this first wedding! My goodness, it's perfect! I've gone through all of the images and only had to tweak maybe 7. I am so impressed, and you are a far better editor than I ever was! I wish that I would have found you sooner! I love the way that you edited for skin tone consistency, I love the reception edits, and I love how you sprinkled black and white images in throughout! Everything is perfect! My clients are going to be very happy. Thank you SOOO much!"

the key to a successful photographer-editor relationship

Being a private editor has gifted me amazing friendships with fellow photographers around the globe and I love saving you time and helping you feel confident in your work-life balance. I'll be honest though - you will only get as much out of this relationship as you are willing to put in.
Just like you, I too want to deliver a 5 star service and consistent, spot-on edits. A smooth and powerful workflow like this is only possible if we sync up our schedules and communicate our expectations clearly. To be able to serve my clients well means being intentional about who I work with (just like you and your couples). That's why I only team up with professionals who:

• Update me regularly about their scheduled weddings
• Are honest and upfront if they ever decide to stop outsourcing
• *Outsource with me at least 10 weddings/sessions per year
• Notify me in advance if they won't be sending an otherwise scheduled wedding

*I do occasionally have time to edit one-off catalogs so feel free to reach out about this.

sounds good? let's chat!

1/4 catalog prep

After shooting a wedding/session, you import into Lightroom and edit a few sample images from each lighting scenario to serve as anchors. (This helps for a more accurate and fast way for me to adopt your style. It could just be 2-3 images from each section or if you post sneak peeks those would serve the same purpose.)

2/4 exporting & sending

Next you export all the final raw files as a Lr Smart Preview Catalog and send them to me as one zip file through Wetransfer.com

important! - SEE how to prepare a smart preview catalog

3/4 editing time

I download the catalog and edit your photos with attention and care (one-by-one; no blind batch-editing here!) Then I return the catalog back to you via wetransfer.com and email you that it's ready.

For a wedding under 800 images the average turnaround is 5 business days, for weddings over 800 images - average is around 7 business days

4/4 delivery & payment

After we make sure you have your edited gallery, I invoice you and you pay the amount for the specific gallery within 2 days.

I normally accept payment through www.transferwise.com - fees are smaller than PayPal and it's direct bank/card transfer

our workflow

how to send your images

export wedding folder as a catalog

Step 1/3

After shooting a wedding, import your raw files into Lightroom and edit a few anchor images. Once you're ready to send them to me, right click on the wedding folder and choose "Export this Folder as a Catalog..."

build/include smart previews

Step 2/3

Now select a location for your catalog and make sure to only tick the box that says "Build/Include Smart Previews" before hitting "Export Catalog"

zip the two files you just created

Step 3/3

You should now see two newly created files in your chosen destination : one ending in .lrdata & one .lrcat
Zip them together and send them to me through wetransfer.com
