Evan Taylor Studio

Professional Editing for Photographers

Professional Editing & Film Matching

No more preset packs that fall short. No more deciding between film and digital. No more Late Nights in Lightroom.

My name is Evan, and I specialize in film matching & editing professional wedding catalogs. I have thousands of hours logged in LR perfecting color grading and tone matching your digital RAWs to film scans. Regardless of your film format, stock of choice, or digital toolkit, you deserve to have a wedding catalog that is consistent with the color palette and tones we all love from film.

Every year I work with a handful of high-end wedding photographers, taking time to understand their workflow, artistic vision, and photographic inspiration. As my client relationships grow, I am always looking for new photographers to work alongside.

Whatever your reasons to consider handing off your wedding catalog to a professional editor, I want to hear from you!

  • Cannot recommend him enough!

    Hiring Evan Taylor Studio has been one of the best decisions I have made in my career. As a hybrid shooter, I am typically so pleased with my film scans but have always had the hardest time trying to get my digital files to match the beauty of film. Evan is able to bring that same excited, magical feeling of getting film scans back to my digital work. The amount of time I have been given back to focus both on shooting, growing my business and spending time with my family has been invaluable. I am so grateful for his professionalism, talent, communication and understanding as a fellow photographer and cannot recommend him enough!

  • Hiring Evan has given me more personal time to do what I love

    “This was my first experience hiring an editor and Evan took the time to understand and match my editing style. I shoot all digital but love the look of film and he always ensures I’m happy with the end result. Hiring Evan has given me more personal time to do what I love, and allowed me to take on more photography clients without the weight of editing!”

  • My work-life balance is in the best shape it's ever been!

    “I have worked with many editors over the past 15 years, but none have compared to working with Evan. Right away he made the effort to understand my editing style and color preferences, and he always accepted feedback and revision to take my images to another level. I now have time with my children and I don’t feel so torn between work and free time. My work-life balance is in the best shape it’s ever been, and I have Evan to thank.”

  • All of my weddings have been delivered in 6 weeks thanks to his help

    Evan is absolutely amazing to work with! I have been working with him for almost 8 months now and he has been editing wedding catalogs for me. He walked me through everything to begin with and always answers questions I have. Two of the weddings he has edited for me have been published and all of my weddings have been delivered within 6 weeks thanks to his help. Evan knew exactly how I wanted my photos edited and even matched my colors with film. 100% recommend him and will continue to use him in the future!

  • Evan's consistent eye and prompt attention to detail are unmatched

    “I’ve tried several editing companies in the past, but Evan’s consistent eye and prompt attention to detail are unmatched. It’s no small task to seamlessly incorporate film and digital from two different formats but he somehow makes it look easy. I’m genuinely impressed with his work every time I download a finished wedding and simultaneously relieved that I didn’t have to spend my own time doing it.”

FAQs

  • Photo editing begins at $0.35 with color edits, film matching, and straightening. Please reach out to receive a full price sheet.

  • I have a tested system of setting up your LR catalog and RAW files to optimize file transfer through the cloud - that way you and I can pass the LR catalog back and forth with all edits Intact. For new clients I will share video documentation with step by step Instructions, and I am always happy to set up a zoom call to assist you In real time.

  • There are a few things I charge an hourly rate to Include In my editing workflow.

    LR masking and touchups - this Is not always easy to define but here are a few examples: exit signs In the background, a few sensor spots In a blue sky, small distractions on the B&G clothes or face, simple objects In the background. The compounding effect of removing many small distractions always elevates the client's gallery. For example, a standard 1,000 file catalog would require ~2 hrs of this type of work, and I always provide a scope of work and estimate before moving forward.

  • Photoshop work would fall under two main categories: 1. digital makeup and 2. Intensive additions or removals. This Is work that cannot/should not be performed In LR. Minimizing/eliminating skin blemishes, discolorations, brightening eyes, and accentuating makeup will be done In PS to provide greater control and quality. I've Photoshopped many an Individual In & out of group shots, and the occasional lurking guest from the corner of a frame… I always provide a scope of work and an estimate before moving forward with these edits.

    I greatly value face-to-face and spoken conversations, and hopefully this summary helps direct our conversation If you decide to move forward with my services.
