Photo Sorting AI

An AI-powered tool that organizes event photography by people, moments and quality — built for photographers and organizers.

Event photographers ship thousands of raw images and spend the next week sorting, tagging and culling. The work is tedious and high-stakes.

Use vision models to do the grunt work — group by person, surface the best shots, and let the photographer keep the final say.

• 01Profiled real photographer workflows to find the highest-leverage step.
• 02Compared multiple embedding models on real event datasets.
• 03Built a review UI that keeps the human in the loop without slowing them down.

• 01Face embedding + clustering pipeline running in a queue worker.
• 02Quality scoring combining sharpness, exposure and composition heuristics.
• 03Object storage with signed URLs for secure delivery.

• 01Clustering identities reliably across lighting and pose variance.
• 02Keeping inference cost per-event predictable.

• 01Reviewable AI beats autonomous AI when stakes are high.
• 02Latency on the first 100 photos matters more than total throughput.

• 01Client-facing gallery delivery
• 02Auto-album themes
• 03On-device pre-culling
