Mobile Photography – Portrait of an Artist – Ninth Video Showcase – TheAppWhisperer

Welcome to our ninth Portrait of an Artist Showcase! This Showcase complements our Portrait of an Artist Column edited by Jennifer Bracewell. Every two weeks Jennifer will review and curate work that has been submitted to our dedicated Flickr group. In addition, to creating a showcase video which features a sampling of submitted work, we will also highlight a few images that have caught our attention… offering some thoughtful commentary about technique, composition and subject matter.

This week Jennifer has selected her favourite images and reviewed them. We hope you enjoy this.

If you are not a member of our Facebook group… we highly recommend that you join us! This is our space for sharing newsworthy information and conducting discussions (what, when, where, why and how) regarding mobile portraiture and portraiture in general.

This self-portrait by Diana Nicolette Jeon is intricate and fascinating.  It’s richly layered and full of emotion. Bravo!

Michel Pretterklieber

Raw, dark, exciting, and uncomfortable is how I’d describe most of Michel Pretterklieber’s work. With this intense self-portrait he continues to challenge us.

Dreamy, beautiful work here by Roger Guetta. I love the detail and the mystery behind her eyes.

Jennifer’s other works are an eclectic mix of country shots, animals, and captures of ephemeral moments in everyday life. Her images have been featured and displayed at Pixels at an Exhibition where she was featured artist for July, 2011 as well as other sites like Mashable , featured artist on iPhoneogenic in September, 2011, and major iPhoneographic blogs.
