For Sports Illustrated photographer Bill Frakes, there’s no day like
Derby Day. He’s been shooting it for more than 20 years, and his
goals remain simple: “I want to make a picture that you haven’t seen
before. And, of course, I want the right shot of the winner.”
To attain his goals, Frakes gets out of the gate fast. “I start drafting my plans and organizing gear several months in advance.” And Aperture figures prominently in those plans. “Aperture is quite simply,” says Frakes, “the most powerful archival tool that a photographer can use.” 
He relies on it to effortlessly add metadata at the point of import.
To quickly whittle thousands of images into a handful of selects.
Add valuable keywords. Tweak exposure and color settings
nondestructively. And export selects directly to PhotoShelter.
“Aperture is a classic Apple program,” he says. “It’s stylish, it’s slick, it’s powerful and it’s reliable.” |
