::: STRATEGY SERIES :::
Why Culling Was Burning Me Out
Before AI tools, culling weddings could take WEEKS! My type A eye could…not….stop.
Thousands of images
Repeated frames
Tiny expression differences
It was draining creative energy before editing even began.
Why I Started Using After shoot
I needed speed.
But I refused to lose control.
After shoot helped me:
Cull faster
Identify duplicates
Flag blinks
Organize galleries faster
Why It Works Across Every Photography Niche
Weddings
Families
Brand sessions
Portraits
Commercial projects
This tool works because volume is volume.
My Current Editing Workflow
Upload RAWs to drive…
Upload to After shoot for first cull
Edit ALL images in After shoot with my profile
Export and created culled and edited LR Cat
Cull fast - get the base down!
Export selects
Compare with Imagen profile (almost same but older) and compare
Send to my editing team for revisions and tweaks
Final polish in Lightroom
Done.
The Bigger Picture
The goal is not simply editing faster.
It is building a sustainable photography business.
That is how I run three brands while raising a family and maintaining creative standards.
