Metadata – for the life of your images
As staff positions dwindle, the independent news photographer becomes more responsible for adding the right information to the photos. This begins with your creator, contact and rights statement as an automatic part of ingestion. Your workflow should include capturing your sorting and selection information to help you now and in the future. Over time, the consistent use of content and usage metadata can really enhance the value of your image collection as new business models and opportunities arise. And good metadata will be essential in the placement of your archive at the end of your career. In this presentation, Peter Krogh will discuss strategies for making effective use of metadata at every stage of your career.
