During my tenure as the Official Photo Editor for Vice President Kamala Harris, efficiency and precision were absolutely critical. Managing thousands of images under tight deadlines, I relied heavily on Photo Mechanic to maintain a fast and effective workflow. The software became an indispensable part of my editing process—allowing me to ingest, cull, caption, and organize photos at record speed.
With Photo Mechanic's powerful metadata tools and lightning-fast browsing capabilities, I was able to quickly identify key moments, embed accurate and consistent information, and ensure that images were ready for immediate distribution. This was especially vital when handling time-sensitive content that documented historic events and appearances.
In an environment where every second counts, Photo Mechanic helped me streamline my workflow, stay organized under pressure, and deliver high-quality, impactful visual storytelling. It truly empowered me to meet the demands of one of the most visible offices in the world with confidence and clarity.

Photo Mechanic is open on my desktop every single day that I’m working. It’s my “go to” program that I use all the time. It’s fast and simple, and absolutely brilliant for culling, applying caption information, and downloading to two different locations at once. The ingesting is fast as it downloads multiple cards at once. I love that I can adjust the size, resolution, rename the image, place a watermark on the image, etc., all while emailing, moving, copying, and/or saving images. It’s crazy cool and a program that I can’t live without!
