Here’s something we’ve learned after editing hundreds of thousands of photos:
Consistency starts before you even upload.
If you want smoother edits, faster turnarounds, and results that match your vision to a T, try these 3 dead-simple tweaks on your next shoot:
Consistency starts before you even upload
1. Lock in your white balance.
2. Use the same lens for key parts of the day.
3. Keep your exposure consistent.
1. Lock in your white balance. (easy peasy)Auto WB = chaos in post. Set it manually. Stick with it. Your future self (and editor) will thank you.
2. Use the same lens for key parts of the day. (pro move)Switching lenses is fine—but if you want consistency, try to shoot portraits or ceremony shots with the same focal length. Different lenses render color and contrast differently, which can affect the final edit more than you think.
3. Keep your exposure consistent. (boss-level stuff)Use manual mode as much as possible—big shifts in brightness between shots make it harder to create that clean, filmic look across the set.
