i.Don’t break
Nobody breaks on the wedding day. You break at 2am, on the fourth hour of culling.
The shoot ends and the real week starts. Two thousand frames to sort. One look to match across all of them. A gallery to build, an invoice to send, an email asking for a discount. None of it is photography. All of it lands at night.

Shot, as in a photograph. Break, as in the big one. Most people read it as breaking, or as a pause. I’ve stopped correcting them, because all three are the job. I’ve watched good photographers break. I built ShotBreak so they could take a break, and still have something left when their break comes.
