Consider this scenario: as a professional photographer, you were all set for an exciting photoshoot with your client. But despite your best efforts, it didn’t go as planned.

Full disclosure: This article is brought to you by Aftershoot.

The morning and the weather report promised a perfect sunny day. But just as you were about to set up, dark clouds gathered ominously, quickly turning the sunny day into a drizzly affair. With no time to waste, you made the quick decision to move the shoot indoors. The sudden change in plans threw you off balance.

As you hurriedly set up your equipment, you realized with a sinking feeling that you had forgotten your camera battery. Panic set in as you noticed that the remaining battery life was only a mere four hours. The carefully chosen outdoor locations and planned shots must now be taken within the cramped indoor space.

With a long list of shots awaiting to be captured, each passing moment felt like a race against time. Suddenly, what should have been a perfect shoot becomes a nightmare, leaving you with a set of RAWs that fall short of your expectations.

What Can You Do?

It’s not just you, it happens to all of us. Every photographer might have experienced a bad shoot day. So what do you do when nothing is working in your favor? With the right approach, recovering from a disappointing session is easier than one might think.

To bounce back from a bad shoot, you have a few options. You can either ask your client for a reshoot or take some time to sift through the images manually. More often than not, clients are not understanding. Some may not agree to a reshoot or may even consider you unprofessional.

Additionally, sifting through the images and editing each image manually may require you to sit for long hours in front of your computer.

But wait, there is actually someone who can do this process for you in just a few hours. Aftershoot is here to save the day!

How Aftershoot Fixes Imperfect Photos
