My Minimalist iPhone + Lightroom Photo Workflow (Like Reusable Components)
Richard Lemon shares his minimalist approach to photography using an iPhone and Lightroom. He emphasizes treating photos like UI components, focusing on simplicity and efficiency. By limiting his gear and workflow, he maintains his interest in photography as a creative hobby rather than a burden.
- ▪Lemon's photography workflow consists solely of using his iPhone camera and Lightroom on his phone.
- ▪He prioritizes a quick and efficient process, aiming to start shooting in under 10 seconds and finish editing in under 5 minutes.
- ▪Lemon avoids using RAW format to keep storage manageable and streamline his editing process.
