Photo organization
Hold the library to one folder shape, with no duplicate or undated shoot left behind, so a job is never hunted for twice.
Tools
Photo Structure, Adobe Lightroom, Bunny.net, SmugMug
Outcomes
One folder shape across the library • Duplicates and undated shoots listed weekly • Frame counts recorded per card • No delivery built from the wrong folder
Documentation
Instruction-ready detail below
A library grows by accident: one shoot in a folder named for the client, another named for the month, and a third on somebody's desktop. Three weeks later nobody can say which folder holds the frames the client picked, and the answer has to be found by asking three people. This workflow reads the library and reports every folder that does not match the agreed shape, with the shoot date, the file count, and the folder it belongs in. It lists shoots that have a folder but no delivery or archive date, finds two shoots whose names differ only by a typo, and compares each card's frame count against what the catalog recorded. Renames are proposed, never applied quietly. The photographer still decides what a shoot is called, which duplicate is the keeper, and when an old year comes off the drive.
