Event Photography Work Flow

Posted by Daniel Payne on February 21, 2010 at 10:13 pm

I’d like to share how I’ve automated my event photography work flow so that clients can be photographed, proof and order in just a few minutes. I’m using some standard technology and some custom technology that I wrote myself:

• Shoot tethered with a Canon 5D connected to an iMac
• iMac runs EOS Viewer and EOS Capture, software from Canon
• Custom Applescript re-sizes the original image into a proof and thumbnail then copies them to a folder on the web server
• Three computers allow clients to proof and order using a web browser in minutes
• Proofing and ordering is customer software that I wrote
• Web server on the PC is called XAMPP

All the details including images are posted on my blog page.
