Mobile Photography – Instagram Takeover with @Psychephoto – Days 5, 6 and 7
Our first ever Instagram TAKEOVER has been a huge success and all our thanks go to @psychephoto – Robin Cohen for this. We entrusted her with the keys to our Instagram account and she has honoured us all with her thought provoking curation, compassion and care. Cohen is a respected and talented artist, a professional psychoanalyst and perhaps more importantly, to me personally at least, a good friend.
On days five, six and seven this week, Cohen highlighted three of our favourite mobile artists, @time.and.again – Amanda Parker as you can see in the first stunning image below, Parker has great ability with the slow shutter app and uses it to create the most stunning images, such as this beach shot. In the second image below you will see an image by @elizabadoiu – Eliza Badoiu, a very beautiful artist from Romania who uses self portrature to express herself in the most delightful way. In the third image Cohen highlights @kate.z.roberts – Kate Zari Roberts, an artist who manages to combine her smartphone photography skills to great effect over a wide range of genres. Day 6 Cohen describes as ‘a day for deep Zen and beauty’ this image enables us also to feel peace and tranquility. The fourth image selected by @psychephoto is one that we featured in our Sunday showcase too, it’s by @oolacristina – Oola Cristina and Cohen describes it as a ‘fantastical delight’ and we couldn’t agree more. Finally, in her last post on her final day, @psychephoto has published a stunning beach scene, it’s full of optimism and hope, mingled with unrestricted freedom of movement and liberty, it’s truly remarkable, enough to take our breathe away.
We are so grateful and so honoured that @psychephoto chose to take us up on our challenge for the past seven days, we have loved every single minute. Thank you, so much x

Joanne Carter
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. In her words, “We all have the potential to remove ourselves from the centre of any circle and to expand a sphere of compassion outward; to include everyone interested in mobile art, ensuring every artist is within reach”, she has said. 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. Her experience as a jurist for mobile art competitions includes: Portugal, Canada, US, S Korea, UK and Italy. And her travels pioneering the breadth of mobile art includes key events in: Frankfurt, Naples, Amalfi Coast, Paris, Brazil, London. Pioneering the world’s first mobile art online gallery - TheAppWhispererPrintSales.com has extended her reach even further, shipping from London, UK to clients in the US, Europe and The Far East to a global group of collectors looking for exclusive art to hang in their homes and offices. 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. Her own freelance photographic journalistic work is also widely acclaimed. She has been published extensively both within the UK and the US in national and international titles. These include The Times, The Sunday Times, The Guardian, Popular Photography & Imaging, dpreview, NikonPro, Which? and more recently with the BBC as a Contributor, Columnist at Vogue Italia and Contributing Editor at LensCulture. Her professional photography has also been widely exhibited throughout Europe, including Italy, Portugal and the UK.
