for streamlining your creative process.
It takes more than an artistic eye to capture the perfect photo. Having the technical know-how definitely helps, but it’s also important to have the confidence that your equipment will meet your expectations. When you’re behind the camera, you should be focused on the shot, not worrying about what might go wrong. Samsung Memory products help ensure that you can confidently take on a complicated or all-day shoot. Some of our favorite content creators shared their tips about what you’ll need to improve your photography workflow and shooting experience when you’re out in the world.
Be fast
When you’re in the field – or even back home -- every second is precious. Whether you’re transferring 4K bursts or 4K video from your memory card to your portable SSD, your equipment shouldn’t slow you down.1,2 To help, Samsung has portable solid state drives with read/write speeds of up to 1,050/1,000 MB/s.
“Not only is my Portable SSD T7 Touch Touch safe and secure, it’s also fast enough to edit large projects, as well as transfer large amounts of data,” says Christon Cash (@blackcavii).
Be nimble
As a creative professional, you never know when or where inspiration will come. You often have to stand or walk for long periods of time while carrying equipment. That’s why it’s important to shave weight and save space in your camera bag. An SSD that weighs less than 2 ounces makes it much easier to stay agile and store your shots for editing.
“Luckily with the PRO Plus Memory Card and T7 Touch Portable SSD, I can confidently capture ideas that spark whenever and wherever,” says Jeremy Cheung (@bboygermy).
Keep lots of room
If you are filling up your memory cards too quickly, it’s a good idea to back up your work to a portable SSD. With capacities up to 2TB, you’ll have enough space to save thousands of high-res RAW files or hours of 4K video.
“It changed the game for us” Tyler Maness (@tylermanessphoto) says of his Portable SSD T7 Touch. “It’s credit card-size, super lightweight and backs up everything superfast.”
Protect your work
As you book more projects and become more independent, it’s on you to be responsible for record keeping and protecting the integrity of your work. Some Samsung SSDs are built with special features, including encryption that keeps everything secure.
“It’s super important for me to have the peace of mind that all my content is safe with the AES 256-bit encryption, which I can unlock with a touch of my finger,” says April Wagner (@apriljwagner).
Tools you can trust
When it comes to memory and storage, you want performance and reliability. The T7 Touch SSD has no moving parts and can withstand extreme temperatures, water, shock and even x-rays.
“I don’t worry about my pictures or videos, because I know that my content is safe,” says Moinul Mahdi (@dreamcatcher_mahdi).
When taking photos and videos, the goal is to capture emotion. The more experience you have, the more you will develop this skill. Content creators agree that what’s most important is to keep learning and to get familiar with the equipment you need to reach your full potential. Free yourself from creative limitations and shoot with a dependable memory card and SSD to collect more images, experience and confidence. That way, your workflow becomes second nature.
