Being a fashion photographer, I carry my photography paraphernalia to my shoot locations. During one of my recent shoots outdoor, I carried one of my memory cards which contained the photos from a just concluded high-profile fashion event. I inserted the SDHC card in my camera to take a re-look at the glimpses of shots from the events, but failed to view a single photo.

Don’t use a memory card after data loss incident

A memory card when deletes a photo or some other file, it marks the space as free, so that it can be used by another file. The deleted photo is never erased permanently. Its index entry gets deleted from the file system of the memory card, whereas, content remains completely untouched. The data of the deleted file can be recovered until and unless a new file overwrites it. In a nutshell, photo recovery is not possible if you keep storing new photos onto a memory card or using it for different purposes. In fact after encountering a photo loss situation, you should immediately stop using it.
