"We're especially honored to receive this recognition as we close out 2014, after our small 40-person team released three brand new products into the photo tech space this year. This extraordinary productivity would not have been possible without a culture and environment that takes care of our people and stimulates them to do great things."
PhotoShelter employees across the team share a spirit of togetherness that goes well beyond it's BBQs, bowling and t'ai chi. In fact, the company even comes together for monthly "Photos and Beer" events with beer brewed by employees in-house.

With these "Photos and Beer" gatherings, engineers, marketers, customer support, and even clients come together and interact over their passion (photography), and sure enough, the company finds it a productive way to get people discussing what we do best and how to do it better.
