An information processing apparatus, comprising: a photographer information acquisition section which acquires photographer information that is information relating to actions of a photographer before starting to take an image; a processing contents decision section which decides contents of processing with respect to the image based on the photographer information that is acquired by the photographer information acquisition section; and a failed image determination section which determines whether or not the image is an image with respect to which imaging has failed, wherein the photographer information includes at least one member of the group comprising whether to perform a composition confirmation, whether to perform an imaging preparation operation, a position of an imaging device, an elapsed time until starting to take an image, and a movement of an imaging device until starting to take an image, wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed, the processing contents decision section sets an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a predetermined position in the image, and in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is not performed, the processing contents decision section sets an image processing range of a predetermined aspect ratio based on a main subject in the image; and wherein in a case where the photographer information includes information indicating that a composition confirmation is performed and the failed image determination section determines that the image is a failed image, the processing contents decision section excludes the image from candidates for which processing contents are decided.
