Professional photographers have to go through 100s to 1000s of photos from a photoshoot to get final candidates to post process and share with clients. This involves lot of manual effort including checking individual photos for quality and selecting better photos from group of similar photos.

CullAi is an Ai assistant for professional photographers to select final photos from a photoshoot.

While selecting best photos from a photoshoot is subjective and will require human touch, CullAi assists in this process by filtering objectively bad quality photos and selecting relatively better quality ones from group of similar photos.

CullAi currently focuses on majority professional photoshoots which have people as their primary subjects. It prominently uses Face Capture Quality which is index of better lit, sharper face with open eyes.

CullAi filters photos with objectively bad quality including:

• Bad lighting conditions
• Out of focus primary subjects
• Camera shake
• Closed eyes

Manually checking this for every photo is time consuming when you have lot of them.

You can adjust Face Capture Quality threshold to filter out photos with lower overall quality.

Threshold is applied to the face having highest Face Capture Quality among all faces in that photo.

CullAi groups similar photos with:

• Similar location
• Similar background
• Same subjects

Grouping of similar photos enables you to compare them side by side or with blending without any manual effort.

You can adjust Similarity Sensitivity and Similarity Time Gap to influence this.

Higher sensitivity will group more photos together which might be less similar.

CullAi by default selects photo with best overall face capture quality of people in that group of photos.

As this is a subjective choice you can select a different photo manually also.

CullAi automatically treats people who are part of more photos as more important but user can change this using thresholds given for each detected person.

Many times in events like weddings, photos will have many people besides primary subjects of the shoot. This is required so that one out of focus person in background shouldn’t influence better photo in a group.

CullAi is available for MacOS for now, we will release same for other platforms based on feedback.

It all started with facing a problem personally in 2014 while getting married :)

Problem — Searching a good wedding photographer in given budget who will shoot in Kolhapur(wedding venue) while living in Mumbai. Asked google for help and to my surprise, it did not have a clue. All this when there are so many other things to take care of.

Solution back then — I just went with one of the referral from relative, without even seeing his portfolio. He turned out to be good, But I felt there is a real problem and is worth solving. I just added this to a list of problems I would like to solve if I ever start my own startup.

Quitting Job — Years gone by and around mid 2017 I did quit my job to pursue dream of starting a startup. Its not like I did not enjoy working for Morgan Stanley and Directi, rather they are the reason for having such a dream at first place.

BookMyShoot — Around April 2018 started to do research on current solutions to this problem and to my surprise there was only one covering Photographers for all categories. There were others, but some were focused on Wedding Planners and some were focusing on all professional services. Most of these were not even mobile ready on top of that. So I decided to go ahead with solving this problem and BookMyShoot was born!

Mission — To enable people preserve their precious memories in true to life quality.

Features — Currently users can Search, Shortlist, Book and Review photographer on BookMyShoot. PhotoStudios can register, add their info, albums and packages. Categories for photographers include Wedding, Pre Wedding, Babies & kids, Anniversary, Maternity, Commercial, Food, Corporate Events, Fashion & Portfolio, Nature, Travel. Most of the PhotoStudios listed today are crawled from internet and we aim to get them all on board. PhotoStudios can claim these existing listings by authenticating with their registered Mobile number on google maps listing. Booking feature today is as convenience for PhotoStudio owners and users to keep track of bookings. Users and PhotoStudio owners should communicate fees, advance fees, time slot, venue, refund conditions and any other terms and conditions clearly to each other while finalising bookings. We have given hook for contacting PhotoStudio on WhatsApp as convenience. As and when we get PhotoStudios onboard and add online payment functionality, this will change.

Learnings — From start I wanted this to be a new learning experience, both technically and for entrepreneurship. Was backend software developer for most of my 11 years experience in software development. In these 2 years used many new technologies — Angular, Kubernetes, MongoDB to name few. Used NodeJs before but used it extensively for BookMyShoot, including Hapi for both frontend and backend servers. Will cover technologies in more detail in future blogs.

Thanks — To my wife and parents for supporting me throughout this journey.
