Cull and edit a whole photo shoot in under 20 minutes with AI trained on your own style, and draft client emails with Claude
Tausha Dickinson, owner of Tausha Dickinson Photography, a commercial, portrait and brand photographer in Franklin, Tennessee, writing on her own blog
Right after a shoot she runs Aftershoot, which she has trained on her own editing style, so it culls and applies her color corrections, slight crops and straightening in one pass. She does a final check in Lightroom using its AI masking, then retouches skin, hair flyaways, clothing bumps and studio distractions in Evoto, using Photoshop only for complex fixes. She uses Claude for client emails, captions and proposals. She keeps her personal projects AI-free.
Claude $17/mo billed annually ($20 monthly). Aftershoot, Evoto and Lightroom aren't priced here.

The problem
Editing kept her up until midnight after shoots, and client emails sat in her drafts for days.
What happened
She says over a thousand images are culled and edited in under 20 minutes, Evoto retouching takes seconds per image ("90 to 100 percent done") where it used to take her about 20 minutes, and "What used to take me until midnight takes me an hour." Client emails go out the same day. Self-reported. She sells non-AI photography workshops and mentoring, and her gear page carries referral links for Aftershoot, Evoto and other tools (the post itself has none).

How to set it up yourself
- What Tausha Dickinson does: Aftershoot culls and does first-pass edits in her style, Lightroom AI masking and Evoto handle retouching, and Claude drafts client emails, captions and proposals.
- Train an AI culling and editing tool on a set of your own finished galleries so its first pass matches your color, crops and straightening.
- Run it right after each shoot, then do your own final pass and send only the tricky images to manual retouching.
- In Claude, paste a client's message and your notes and ask for a reply in your voice (prompt below), so emails go out the same day instead of sitting in drafts.
- Decide what stays AI-free (she keeps personal projects untouched) and say so to clients if they ask.
