Conclusion
So, just how does EXIF data work? And how can you use it to your advantage in your photography practice? It’s actually pretty simple once you understand the basics of what EXIF data is and how it’s stored.
The key thing to keep in mind is that every digital camera has its own unique identifier—a set of numbers and letters that identifies which kind of camera was used to take each photo. When coupled with other information like time stamps, this identifier allows photographers (and anyone else who accesses the EXIF data) to know exactly when and where a photo was taken.
This isn’t just helpful for sorting through photos later on; some photographers have even used EXIF data as evidence in court!
