Cull Me uP is built by Jean-Michel — a working photographer and developer in New York City, France-raised, building the tools he wishes he had when coming back from a shoot.
Photographer · Developer
I shoot street, travel, and editorial work as justamoment.nyc. I spend more time culling than developing. Most of that time happens in fragmented sessions — between meetings, on the couch, after dinner — and I wanted a tool that worked the way that life actually works.
Cull Me uP is the tool I would have wanted on my last 200 shoots. It is built peer-to-peer, photographer-to-photographer. If you find friction in it, I want to hear it.
The companies
The software side. Tools for working photographers — fast, file-first, honest. Built around a single principle: the eye stays with the photographer.
The photography side. A working portfolio and ongoing practice. The shoots that test Cull Me uP first.
In progress
A long-form essay on the hour after the shutter — the cull, the doubt, the way photographs become a body of work. Some of the thinking behind Cull Me uP started here. The book and the app continue to inform each other.
Beta testers will be the first to read excerpts.
