Why should you choose Linux as a professional photographer?īefore I start with the description of my personal photography workflow, I think it’s useful to first explain in short what Linux actually is, why Linux could be a good alternative and why a switch from the more mainstream operating systems could be right for you. And to help other independent photographers in their decision, in this article I will look at how to setup a Linux and Open Source based workflow for professional photographers.
And now I can look back on that transition with a very good feeling and I no longer have any reason to return to the Apple ecosystem.
At the beginning of that extra career I was still an Apple user, but when my iMac stopped working and I also could no longer upgrade my MacBook, an attempt to design a Linux based photography workflow became more and more interesting to me. In addition to my regular work as a senior development engineer for a large Dutch bank, I have also been a self-employed professional portrait and wedding photographer. I myself have also been in this situation. But then you read and hear more and more positive things about that obscure third operating system called Linux and you wonder if there are possibilities to convert your current professional photography workflow into a workable process within this free alternative landscape. Or if you are more economically oriented or not a fan of the Apple ecosystem, then you are probably a user of the Windows platform. You are a professional portrait, product or wedding photographer and have been using Apple products for years.
