Participate in Our Industry Study Survey on AI Culling & Editing (Win Amazon Gift Cards)

Pye Jirsa

Artificial Intelligence is changing photography faster than ever before. From streamlining the culling process to applying advanced edits, AI photo editing tools are becoming part of many photographers’ workflows. But here’s the truth—these tools are only as good as the feedback they receive from photographers actually using them.

That’s where you come in. We’re inviting photographers to take part in a quick survey about AI culling and editing. The goal is to collect real-world insights from working professionals that will help shape the future of these tools.

And as a thank-you, we’re giving away $2,000 in Amazon gift cards to survey participants.

When you ask AI to draw a cartoon of you handing out money… and it decides you should look like this 🤦‍♂️😂. Anyway, while AI still can’t quite get my face right, it is changing the way we edit photos—and we want your input!

What You Could Win

We’ve set aside $2,000 in prizes:

  • One grand prize: $1,000 Amazon gift card
  • Ten prizes: $100 Amazon gift cards

Winners will be randomly selected once the survey closes.

Why This Matters

AI editing and culling tools are evolving quickly, but they need input from real photographers to stay relevant. Your feedback will:

  • Guide how software companies refine their tools
  • Influence which features are prioritized
  • Ensure AI works with photographers—not against them

This is your chance to be part of the conversation and help shape the future of photography technology.

Quick Details

  • The survey takes about 10 minutes
  • Winners chosen at random from all completed responses
  • Open to photographers in the US, Canada, Australia, UK, and EU
  • Amazon gift cards will be issued for your region (or an equivalent if unavailable)
  • Prizes delivered electronically shortly after the survey closes
