I have short films, projects that never got made, personal photos, ones of friends, clients, old family ones … i do some writing and store different documents. I want to have a Mari Kundo type hard drive.
Do you guys have any tips? Or some industry standard I’m not aware of?
YYMMDD - ProjectName
That alone should take you pretty far.
If you need to just catalogue and organize your regular photography create a primary folder of photography, and every shoot day is it’s own sub folder. If you own more than one photography device (camera + phone maybe) you can mark each folder by device like:
YYMMDD - DeviceName
You can get way more complex beyond this…but (ISO format) date + description is the fundamental building block.
