Outsource your color correction & add more freedom to your business

outsource color correction
As you all know I write a lot about freeing up your time..

  •  to do more fun stuff,
  • to live more,
  • to spend more time with loved ones,
  • to enjoy the freedom that comes with being an entrepreneur/ photographer.

Today is no different, LOL ;-)

And today is even more fun because I get to give you a present.

But first let me tell you a story.

When I was doing back to back weddings with 2Rings, it was hectic and soon we were strapped for time to get all our weddings processed.

Besides, we didn’t even like that part of the work so much. We enjoyed shooting a wedding approximately ten times more ;-).

Or creating blogs, or getting creative with our album designs.

Or in general, thinking up new ways to market our business or give our clients an even better experience, that is what lights me up always.

What is it in your business that lights you up and maybe you can’t give enough time too? If you often feel like your energy is drained, it is an idea to start allocating your time more to the things that give you energy, instead of the things that someone else can do for you!

Outsource color correction

We were thinking of outsourcing the processing of our images, but as you may recognize, we were having doubts about it as well.

  • What would happen to our style?
  • Would our images be safe?
  • What would our clients think of that?

We decided to try it out anyway and…

It worked pretty perfectly. We would send our smart previews of the images and they would send us the xmp files back. So even when we applied the edits of our color correction service we could always make some final changes ourselves (if we wanted) and the original images would not be touched.

Also, we provided them with detailed instructions on the recipe of our style.  I am pretty sure every photographer knows the secret sauce of their own color correction & processing and the people at the agency know exactly how to replicate that if you take the time to properly explain it to them!

We also made it no secret to our clients that we had assistants helping out in the (fast) delivery of their images. If we mentioned it, it would usually be in response to a question like: “how soon do we get our images?”. To inform them about the existence of assistants would work in our favor since it showed our professionalism in our business. And since every edit is done according to our standards, we could fully stand behind the way we work, and that is important!

AMAZEBALLS!

Within 4-7 days, our images would be back, cropped (optionally), adjusted, color corrected and done!

All we had to do was give it some SmartAlbum magic and deliver the whole wedding with album proofs within one week. Total bliss.

Especially since we promised to have them done in 6 weeks, the clients would be super pumped to receive them early!

Note: we always reserved some time in our promised deadlines for unforeseen events so we would always be able to make it work and delight the customers, read more about the power of setting deadlines.

And in the meantime? We would shoot some more images, make some more people happy, and earn some more money!

Love that.

Introducing ProImageEditors

unnamedThis company has recently started to focus more on the European market and they caught my eye.

They are called ProImageEditors, and they have such a great offer for my readers and users that I am happy to give them an extra special introduction.

They are super personal in their way of working, they will never feel anonymous to you since they have a relationship manager handling your account at all times.

P1160389
Over 250 People editing images and videos for you! They did not all fit in the picture ;-)

Someone who knows you and your business, which is awesome. You don’t want to drop your art in a nameless FTP black hole right?

And they have a great offer for you. You can have them edit a total wedding of 500 images for free plus an additional 2 images get retouched exactly the way you want! Did I mention FOR FREE?

Would you almost suspect there is a catch right? Sounds too good to be true.

Well, as far as I know, there is not. They know it is a scary thing for a photographer to trust their artwork to an external company, so they want to give you a solid impression of how they can work with you.

Not just with editing a small batch of 10 images but with a whole wedding so you can really see what the end result would be like (and feel the relief of having to edit one less wedding!).
Make sure you really educate them on your secret Lightroom recipe so they know exactly how to help you the best way and your trial is really worth the effort and a good start for further co-creation!

Invest some time in that first contact and you can save more time down the road (as always when you implement time-saving systems).[/feature_box]

And their pricing after the trial is super competitive too.

I love that this freedom option is now available to all kinds of photographers, not just the ones making the big bucks already.

Everyone can incorporate this into their pricing, make it work and enjoy all the peace of mind that it delivers!

So without further ado: Get your 500 images edited in the high season and give yourself a nice break. YOU deserve one!
