OUR STORY

The Aftershoot Story

Founded in 2020
“Coming back from a wedding, I was sitting on 5,000 photos, making the same choices over and over - Which one’s in focus? Who has their eyes open? I thought, surely this can be automated. Enter Harshit: a genius asking photographers how AI could help. A match made in heaven.”
Justin Benson, Co-founder
What started as a conversation between a photographer and a developer became a shared mission: to help photographers spend more time behind the camera, and less behind a screen. Aftershoot was built for the overworked. For the creators chasing perfection. For those who love their craft but need time back.

How It Started

The first version? It was bad. But the potential was huge.
I knew we had something the moment I saw jaws drop during our first WPPI demo.
How We Started
From a single Facebook post in 2019 to our first culling prototype, Aftershoot grew fast - powered by curiosity, community. We didn’t have a polished office. We had Zoom calls at midnight, scrappy designs, and a big idea: photographers deserve better tools.
