We recently struck up a conversation on LinkedIn about backing up and workflow – where he focuses a lot of attention when helping other photographers. Based in New Jersey, USA, he helps people who love photography choose the right equipment and set up automated backup workflows. In addition to working directly with other photographers, he consults with larger companies on colour management. He was also the Editorial Director of a glossy photo magazine, Digital Imaging Techniques, where he wrote articles on digital and fine-art photography, inkjet printing, and Photoshop techniques. And if that's not enough, he is the author of four award-winning books, including his newest book: Focus and Filter, Professional Techniques for Mastering Digital Photography and Capturing the Perfect Shot. In this interview, Andrew shares exactly how photographers should be managing their backups the right way.
