Paperless Estimates

Lets start at the very beginning! When doing photography assignment estimates, use a paperless work flow. This is very easily accomplished by using Adobe Acrobat and email quotes for assignments. Most accounting software now has the ability to email an estimate to client. This avoids the waste of printing and faxing.

An Overview of a Green Approach to Commercial Photography

The production process for photography (doesn't that sound industrial?) comprises: pre-production (planning, scouting, and logistics), production (the actual photography), and post-production (proofs, decision-making/editing, file set-up, and retouching.

How can we make each part of the process "greener"?
1. pre-production (planning, scouting, and logistics)
2. production (the actual photography)
3. post-production (proofs, decision-making/editing, file set-up, and retouching
printing.

Also, what other aspects of the equipment, approach, and business practice can be make more environmentally-friendly? What about: making prints? delivery? record-keeping?

Stand-by for more!
