The vast majority of independent professional photographers these days, use digital cameras. Today’s professional quality DSLR cameras have a digital resolution that matches or in many cases exceeds that of traditional film cameras. When you add to that the convenience of using high capacity flash storage cards to hold hundreds and hundreds of pictures without having to stop and change film, the decision to go digital is an easy one for most professional photographers.
Another advantage of digital is that there are no costs for film. That means that a photographer can literally take a hundred or more pictures in order to get that one perfect shot without having to pay for the film for all the wasted shots. Instead of picking and choosing every shutter click, the digital photographer can capture everything, all day long. There is no need to worry about how much film to bring, or lugging it to inhospitable field locations. A couple of flash cards take up little more space than a typical postage stamp and can hold several busy days worth of shooting.
Batteries can still be an issue; digital cameras are notorious for their battery drain. Good quality rechargeable batteries can both lower expenses over the long term, and provide a reasonable battery life. Even so, extra batteries should be taken along on any extended shooting session. If the photographer has access to an electric outlet at the shooting location, good battery chargers can fully recharge a set of batteries in about an hour’s time.
Good photographs are worth an incredible amount of money over their lifetime. The photographer may sell the same image in various sizes, framed, matted, as post cards, or autographed limited edition sets, over and over again. Artists who regularly offer their work for sale to the general public will soon find which of their photos are frequent sellers, and which, despite the photographer’s personal fondness for them, don’t seem to appeal to the buying public.
All of these photos are stored digitally. The artist may copy them to CD-ROM, store them on an external hard drive, or even just catalogue piles and piles of flash cards. However, they are stored, they can be very valuable files for the photographer who makes his living by selling his images to the public. These digital files are used over and over again to make new prints and replenish the artist’s inventory. The loss of a hard drive or even a single flash card or CD-ROM full of images can be a serious financial blow to a photographer.
Most photographers will have one or more back-up copies of every stored image. That way if one disk or drive fails, they have not lost anything. Occasionally, though, disaster may strike. Either the artist has neglected to make back-up copies or some broader event damages several sets of copies at once. In these cases, the photographer must seek out data recovery services from a qualified professional. Data recovery houses can extract the photographs from storage media that has failed or even been physically damaged. Recovering popular images from damaged or defective digital media can save the photographer a tremendous amount of future income.
