We’re delighted to announce a brand new iPhone photography app called Tangent today. Tangent is a unique iPhone app that lets you add to photos one-of-a-kind graphic overlays, which work as unique frames or stunning embellishments. Tangent has a large collection of shapes and fills that can be easily manipulated, blended and colorized in almost infinite combinations using standard iOS gestures.
Fully integrated with popular social media channels, Tangent’s users can either opt to share their creations seamlessly with just a tap or “Retangent,” a feature that allows the user to save their creation and continue adding more layers to their design. This unique feature alone means that the creative possibilities for Tangent are truly limitless.
“The goal in creating Tangent was to provide an intuitive platform for people to create inspiring images through mobile artistry,” says Tangent’s creator and lead developer Ben Guerrette. “There’s an inherent beauty in the simplicity of the interface, which gives users of every level the capability to creatively approach and reimagine photos with endless possibilities. My excitement, both as an artist and a developer, is seeing the astonishing work conceived using Tangent as a tool for creative expression.”
Take a look below at some of Tangent’s creative tools. Tangent retails for $0.99/£0.69 and you can download it here.

– 43 background fills (11 out of the box)
– 350 stunning combinations of blends and colors
– Unlimited combinations of shapes, fills, and blends that will completely transform any photo into a work of art
Joanne Carter, creator of the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website— TheAppWhisperer.com— TheAppWhisperer platform has been a pivotal cyberspace for mobile artists of all abilities to learn about, to explore, to celebrate and to share mobile artworks. Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built.

Promotion of mobile artists and the art form as a primary medium in today’s art world, has become her life’s focus. She has presented lectures bolstering mobile artists and their art from as far away as the Museum of Art in Seoul, South Korea to closer to her home in the UK at Focus on Imaging.

The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art.
Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine.

She is currently writing several books, all related to mobile art and is always open to requests for new commissions for either writing or photography projects or a combination of both. Please contact her at: [email protected]
Just bought the app. I love applications that you can add graphic motifs over your image. By the way it does have in app purchase to add more graphic elements. Apparently…there are two sets each for .99 cents each.
Tangent is cool, but Photo Candy takes adding patterns & shapes to the next level. The fact that the app is $1.99 and you still have to pay for IAP. Also it feels a little limited on the features. You should definitely check out Photo Candy it’s one of my favorite photo fx apps out now. https://itunes.apple.com/us/app/photo-candy-add-shapes-patterns/id680469544?mt=8
