Metadata Monday: What Editors Wish Photographers Knew About Metadata
What Editors Wish Photographers Knew About Metadata... and how you can save them (and yourself) a lot of headaches.
When photographers think of their job, they’re focused — literally — on getting the shot. But for the editors on the other side of the workflow, it’s not just about what you captured, but how easily that image can be found, verified, and published.
Whether you’re submitting to a news desk, an agency, or a stock platform, your metadata is often the first thing an editor sees. And if it’s incomplete, inaccurate, or inconsistent, it can slow down — or even derail — your image’s path to publication.
Today, we’re digging into what editors really wish more photographers understood about metadata, and how smarter tools like MetadataAI™ can help bridge the gap.
