SOOC images should be posted on the day of the shoot because they’re good enough to post and there isn’t much that needs to be done. Perhaps time pressure means that images don’t get the attention they need. So I’m not sure what it says when a photographer reposts something that was done months ago.
I guess it was like “Starbucks Freshly Roasted” series… roasted in 1998. Just branding. I don’t know if the guy is looking for feedback, promotion, connection, fame, … So it’s hard to understand motives in sharing SOOC images and claiming that they’re SOOC.
