Oksana, i’d be interested in what you do with editting your photos. I find i DO have to edit each on seperately even though i know their’s an option on lightroom to Sync similar lighting and Actions in photoshop. You just can’t do it that way to get matching results.

Since my main business now is portrait photography, i do edit every photo separately in Lightroom (for color correction, brightness, contrast etc.) and Photoshoop (retouching and composites). My clients see anly 30 images from their session, which are already edited. I believe in quality not quantity.

With events it is a bit different (which I barely photograph these days). I would not edit them as much as I would portrait session, unless there are some close up portraits and special effects. A lot of the photos just go through Lightroom (and I would use Synk for the same conditions – I don’t see why not).

I see that you blur the backgrounds in post production a lot, which I am sure is tons of work. Most event photographers just use long lenses for that – 70-200mm is very popular one. Besides the good bokeh it also compreses everything, which is great for group photos to get everyone in focus and still get a nice blurred background. The only problem might be what you might not have enough space to step back + it is an expensive lens.
