Bio<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Jeff Hancock has been a detachable lens photographer since 1987. His first professional gig was for a Surfer in Hawaii who paid him $20 for a roll of film, and he\u2019s been underpaid ever since. He\u2019s now the official photographer for the Office of Historic Alexandria, The Mike O\u2019Meara Show Podcast, Die Laughing Productions, and Dangerboy, a rock and roll cover band.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

None of this pays enough for him to quit his day job in Data Visualization. He photographs everything in front of him that looks interesting and sometimes seeks out interesting things to stand in front of to make photographs. He\u2019s been a member of NVPS since 2007.  <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Description<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Do you spend too much time editing your images?  Would you like to get great (ok, acceptable) results in five minutes or less per photo? Come to NVPS on Tuesday, October 14th, to see how Jeff makes the magic happen. Send in some RAW, unprocessed images.  Jeff will import them into Lightroom (explaining his workflow process while he does it) and will edit them with Lightroom and Topaz Photo AI (where necessary). Jeff has to process hundreds of event photos, and he usually finishes editing them the next day. He’s not crafting each one into art, but they are usually much better than they were straight out of the camera. Time is money when you’re getting paid a flat fee, so the less time you spend processing photos, the higher your hourly rate. Even if you don’t need to edit hundreds of photos, saving time processing will give you time to shoot more photos.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

To Submit Photos<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

If you have some images that you would like Jeff to edit during the October 14 session, please submit RAW out\u2013of\u2013the camera images (no jpegs) no later than October 14 at 4 PM (yes, the day of the event!) by following the instructions at NVPS Dropbox<\/a>.  

Dropbox will ask for your name and an email address.  The email address will be used to notify you that the upload of your file was successful.  Though we can not configure Dropbox to refrain from asking for your email address, it appears Dropbox does not validate email addresses. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Note that Jeff might not be able to get to all the submitted images.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
