We name files for the media plan: campaign, motif, aspect, language. The editor’s private timeline names stay in the suite.
Colour-managed stills and video sit in parallel folders with a short readme: LUT, white, and what was approved.
Raws stay in our working storage unless bought. What the client receives is what they licensed.
A year later, brands ask for a new crop. If the archive is clean, that is a morning. If it is a pile, it is a new job.

Seacount keeps a room on Twijnstraat, above the canal. The work is for furniture makers, the university presses and the cafes that need a plain record of a room. Days are plotted around the water light. Macro on the bench in the morning, a portrait by the window after lunch, grade before the bike courier.
