Question
What tools and collaborations are essential to Scott Kivowitz's photography workflow?
Answer
A few tools and collaborations are core to Scott Wyden Kivowitz’s workflow, from booking to delivery.
On the business and scheduling side, Scott relies on a WordPress-driven website, Google Voice for inquiries, and Google Calendar/Tasks for scheduling and notes. Shoots are done with Nikon (and sometimes Leica) gear, packed into Think Tank or Gura Gear bags, often with PocketWizard triggers, lighting modifiers, tripods, and color tools like the X-Rite ColorChecker.
For post-production, images are imported as DNGs into Adobe Lightroom for most editing, with Photoshop and plugins (Topaz, Nik, onOne/Perfect Photo Suite) when needed. Backups go to Drobo and online services, and client delivery/print fulfillment has involved platforms like SmugMug with Bay Photo and labs like Mpix/MpixPro.
Is there a specific part of that workflow you would like to replicate or refine—shooting, editing, or delivery?
