What’s a Photo Culling and Selection Service?

Photographers of every genre click thousands of photos to ensure no moment is missed. Since every photo is not perfect, this is where the photo culling and selection comes in. It is the process of selecting the best photos from the deck of thousands of photos. After all, when the perfect photos come together, they weave the best story. 

The image culling process starts before the photo retouching and editing. At EditingLive, we don’t select photos on a random basis. There is strategic thinking in the image selection. We take into consideration multiple factors including photographers' perspectives to select images. After all, our cumulative effort is to set the right foundation for future photo editing services.

Photo Culling and Selection Process at EditingLive

At EditingLive, we have a well-defined approach for image culling. We select a photo, if it follows each of the below objective qualities: 

  • Subjects are sharp and in focus.
  • The eyes of all subjects are open when they are looking at the camera.
  • Flattering expressions across all subjects in the image.
  • Acceptable body postures and positioning.
  • Horizontal or vertical selection of photos based on the photographer’s perspectives and the patterns followed throughout the album/catalog.
  • Zoomed in or out selection of photos based on the photographer’s perspectives and the patterns followed throughout the album/catalog. 
  • Select straight photos over crooked photos. 

In culling candid photos, the face is our priority, and body language comes next. Our photo culling and selection process eliminates blurry photos and out-of-focus photos. Our team of editors removes duplicate photos and overexposed/underexposed photos that can’t be recovered. We don’t select photos where the key elements and parts of human bodies are cut off. In addition to these, we eliminate photos that have awkward expressions, and in-between moments. In short, we ensure that the right photo goes for the editing.
