The Campaign:

At the BNP Paribas Open, Jared Wickerham, Andrew Wevers, and a team of freelance photographers and editors used PhotoShelter AI to automate the tagging and sorting of more than 160k images. On each day of this two-week event, images were efficiently organized by player names, match details, sponsors, and more. This automation and a robust network setup streamlined photo management and delivery, boosting productivity and improving the event workflow. Link

The Impact:

• Productivity soared: 171 matches covered, 300k images created, narrowed down to 16k+ edits.
• AI-powered workflow: Leveraged PhotoShelter’s AI facial recognition tool, PeopleID, to auto-tag players, and Smart Galleries to organize images for each match. As edited files were uploaded, they were auto-tagged and sorted, providing easy access to content for the social and editorial teams.
• Streamlined content delivery to athletes: This year, the BNP Paribas Open developed their own app using PhotoShelter’s API to seamlessly send content to players. By assigning a number to the player’s AI tag in PhotoShelter, their team can find and identify the right players to send content to automatically.
