Never one to shy away from controversy, Scott Bourne’s latest move continues to be fully in character. Scott has been the “poster child” for Apple’s Aperture software, and even went so far to lead the Aperture Nature Photography Workshops. But all that seemingly came to a screeching halt when a few weeks ago Scott blogged about embracing Lightroom “too”. And even blogged about how to transfer Aperture projects into Lightroom.

All drama aside, I think it’s a wise move for “thought leaders” to not pigeon-hole themselves into one particular brand or another. We are all, after all, photographers. The tools, software, and gear we use should be ancillary to the ultimate goal of creating compelling imagery.

In this interview we talk about what was behind this move, as well as his changing philosophy behind sponsorships and how they can sometimes impact impartiality.
