With all the brands, products, manufacturers, software, apps, and everything in between out there, it can be challenging for today’s photographers to remember or keep track of what’s what. So, the folks of AI-powered post-processing software Aftershoot came up with a simple reference for photographers of all levels: the Photography Industry Map 2025.
The map provides a comprehensive and in-depth overview of the key companies in the photography market. Organized into 14 categories such as manufacturers, photo editing software, portfolio services, and more, it serves as a valuable resource for understanding the diverse players shaping the industry. According to Aftershoot, they intend to regularly update the map to keep track of the evolving landscape.
“The Photography Industry Map highlights the incredible diversity of companies shaping the photography landscape. From manufacturers to software developers, this map unites those pushing boundaries and creating the tools that drive the industry forward. The photography world is at a stage where AI and traditional techniques are merging. Today, photographers aren’t choosing sides — they’re blending these tools to unlock new creative possibilities and streamline their workflows,” said Harshit Dwivedi, Founder of Aftershoot, on the motivation behind this initiative for the photography community.
