People who shoot large amounts of photos (especially events)- how much time do you spend editing after?

I’m starting to do event photography as paid work.On the weekend, I did a 2 day shoot of a national crossfit competition - 17 hours, and about 2500 photos.When I was speaking to the other two photographers there, I mentioned I would spend 16-30 hours or so editing in lightroom after. Their view was that the pay was so low to do minimal adjustments of 2-3 hours total, and one of them was shooting raw and jpg, and just going to give jpgs to the client shot as is.My current workflow is: - Import overnight, including 1:1 previews - Apply a preset I have made for my look at import, and also apply keywords - After import, first filter though all photos, removing missed focus, duplicates where they are very similar etc. - Adjust exposure / highlight/shadow/white/black as needed for any super contrasty photos (eg shooting into sun so subjects face is dark). (For sports I shoot auto ISO, and use aperture mode w/a min shutter speed – and meter mode is multi, so shots should all be pretty similar) - Crop & straighten photos - Correct lens distortion for wide angle shotsThe view of the other two people is no one will notice an image not level, or distortion from wide angle – especially where the photo brief is to capture as many athletes as possible, compared to presenting top 50 images.The only things I can think of to speed up my time is: - Create a second preset for the contrast fixes shooting into sun (or a few for common scenarios) - Do minor exposure fixes just using shortcut keys - Still straighten and crop, but don’t fix distortionDoes anyone have any suggestions on what else they do when they have to shoot a large volume of images? I think I can cut down my editing time, but maybe to 10 hours, not 2 – as I also have a style / aesthetic, as well as level of quality I want to present. The only other thing I can think of is to charge more (wouldn’t have won the job in this case) or to offer different packages – in terms of full editing, vs minimal editing and more a documentary style of capturing as many athletes as possible as is. via /r/photography https://ift.tt/32VdIcn
