Independent Software Studio
Tools built for the work that matters — for photographers and enterprises who deserve software that respects their time.
ScrollWhat We Believe
I build tools because the tools I needed didn't exist — or they existed but cost five times what they were worth and shipped half of what they promised. Every product here started as something I personally needed to do my own work.
Pricing is honest: what something costs to build and maintain, with a fair margin, not what the market will bear from a customer with no alternatives. There are no subscription traps here, no enterprise add-ons that unlock features that should have been included.
Running as a one-person studio means I use everything I ship. When something breaks, it breaks for me first. When something is slow or confusing, I notice. That's a different kind of accountability than a product team manages from a dashboard.
What We Build
AI Analysis for Lightroom Classic
AI that understands light, composition, and what makes a photograph work — for photographers who are serious about their craft and want genuine feedback, not flattery.
Enterprise AI Security & Governance
A security layer that sits between your team and your AI models — inspecting, enforcing, and auditing every interaction before it becomes a liability.
How We Work
LrForge runs entirely on your machine. Your photos and your data stay with you, always — not on a server I manage, not in a pipeline I can read.
Priced for working professionals, not enterprise budgets inflated by investor expectations. No seat licenses, no surprise fees, no features held hostage behind a higher tier.
No chasing trends. Software that works reliably, updated when it genuinely needs to be, supported by someone who answers email and uses the product daily.
