PhotoStatistica is the perfect tool to help you buy the right piece of equipment, think about how to improve your photography, research artists, run a competition or manage a team of photographers. PhotoStatistica quickly scans in EXIF data from directories of images, then gives you a powerful set of charting, discovery and filter tools to analyse the images and help answer questions such as: - What prime lens should I buy, based on the most common focal length I used on a zoom lens over the last year? - Is it worth investing in a high ISO camera? - What gear do I most use on my trips? - Which lens do I get the highest rated images with? Or if you are an archivist, researcher or manage a team of photographers, PhotoStatistica can help answer questions such as: - What was the artist's most prolific period? - What was the photographer's technical approach? - Which camera systems does the photographer use the most?
