Image Editing
Here you can browse the software I personally use to edit all my photos and I use on a daily basis.
My go-to photo editing software is Photoshop along with pretty much any other pro photographer. There's a reason it's probably the most popular!
Adobe Photoshop
In addition to Photoshop, I always use Adobe Lightroom. Possibly a better option for beginners with it's simple user experience but a must have tool for any level photographer in my opinion.
Adobe Lightroom Classic
A great little app for editing photos on the fly using your phone!
Snapseed
Video Editing
These are the top video editing software applications I use!
For all my video editing I trend to always use Prem Pro and once learned it's hard to move away from.
Professional video editing software | Adobe Premiere Pro
Prem Rush is a much more basic version of Premeire Pro but it is really quick and easy to use, especially on tablet or phone.
Video editing app | Mobile video editing | Adobe Premiere Rush
A great alternative video editing app!
CapCut | All-in-one video editor & graphic design tool driven by AI
I don't use this often personally but It's another good alternative to Premeire Pro and many even prefer it!
DaVinci Resolve 19 - Blackmagic Design
Useful Websites
Here are some websites I use for my businesses for general content creation.
Canva is such a good website and resource for anyone working online. It has a really easy user interface and the editing power has come along way over the years.
Canva: Visual Suite for Everyone
A great cloud storage option with a free 15gb it's not really enough for a pro content creator, however you can increase this via reasonable payment plans.
Google Drive
Google photos has improved a lot in recent years in my opinion. I back up mostly phone photos but you can now edit using AI and it mostly does a good job if you need something editing quick.
Google Photos
Dropbox is a great tool for sharing large files, which is a common occurrence being a photographer!
Dropbox
A great stock image website for general content creation or for selling your own images.

File Storage
Here is a list of all the tools I use to safely and securely store my all important files!
I like to use these hard drives because of their well known durability and reliability! I always travel with at least a 2TB size.
LaCie Rugged 2TB Thunderbolt USB-C Drive
A NAS is so important for safely backing up your files and in my opinion any serious photographer needs one. This is the one I have used and so far so good!
Synology DiskStation DS224+ 2-Bay NAS Enclosure
My other go-to harddrives are Samsung SSDs because they are really fast loading and reliable.
Samsung 4TB T7 Shield Portable SSD (Black)
A beast of performance and storage capability and a must for your NAS storage unit. I recommend changing these out every 3 years or so obviously depending on your own usage but I don't like to leave them longer than that because all hard drives fail ...
Seagate 20TB IronWolf Pro 7200 rpm SATA III 3.5" Internal NAS HDD (CMR)
