not young photographers of reddit, how do you manage all your data I shoot digitally. When I started getting in to photography, all I really had was my Mom’s compact Nikon and my personal tablet.

I do Photography as a hobby, but I’ve taken over 20ish grad pics for some extra cash and I just gave them all the raw images afterwards. I also have gone to 3 catteries to take pictures of their cats and all 3 times I just gave…
