What if “fixing it in post” is just doing the same job twice?

In this episode of The Focus Trap, Amy and Casey talk about editing. Not the fun, creative side of editing, but the kind that happens because something went wrong in the field and now you’re trying to rescue it later on the computer.

They also talk about:

• How relying too heavily on editing can sabotage learning
• The relationship between fieldcraft, flow state, and creativity
• Why repeated editing problems usually point to field problems
• The mental load of photography and how to simplify it
• How fixing mistakes can consume creative energy

Along the way, there are conversations about black dogs, AI editing tools, crooked horizons, agility trials, kayak bird photography, and the realization that your body mechanics might be the reason all your photos are crooked.
