In photography, strong editing and presentation often beat “more photos”.
1) Series vs single image
If you can choose:
- single: aim for instant impact (an iconic frame)
- series: aim for narrative consistency (6–12 images that hold together)
Common mistake: 2 strong images + 8 weak ones.
2) Editing: cut until it hurts
Be ruthless. Ask: does this image add meaning, or is it repetition?
3) Captions
- clarify place/year
- prevent misunderstandings
- keep it short
4) Files: follow requirements
- if they ask for sRGB, don’t send AdobeRGB
- if they ask for 3000px, don’t send 800px
- respect max file size
5) Privacy and releases
If recognizable people or private locations appear, check whether a release is needed. Not always required, but ignoring it can cause issues.
Tip: keep two ready-to-go packs: one for single images and one for series.
