iPad + Mac Workflow
So, how would a professional photographer use a Mac and the iPad tablet in his workflow?
On Prihoda’s iPad he keeps covers from different issues of Cosmo as reference library, to make sure his creativity won’t deviate too much from the client’s established look.
Martin shoots Hasselblad H1 at 31 megapixels, tethered to his MacBook Pro (probably with SSD) via Firewire. Not only can he check exposure and composition, his client can also see the images too.
Prihoda also explains his light setup, of how he creates defined shadow without too much light falloff.
