Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @armineh29 – Day 7
We are so grateful to @armineh29 – Armineh Hovanesian, whom we entrusted with our Instagram account on 11th December 2017 for seven days after she was gracefully handed the baton by @before.1st.light – Jane Schultz, after she received it from @lee_atwell – Lee Atwell, who in turn received it from our first Instagram Takeover artist @pyschephoto – Robin Cohen.
On Day 7 @armineh29 highlighted a brilliant artist whom we greatly admire and have done so for considerable time. In fact we even wrote about her via LensCulture some time ago (I am contributing editor over there too).
Getting back to @armineh29’s final day 7, she writes “for my 7th and last day of invasion, I would like to highlight @louisewhiting and her body of work. Louise was one of the first mobile photographers I started following on IPA and fell in love with her work. Her portraits are stunning as are her layered creations. I have the utmost respect and admiration for her and always look forward to seeing her work. Congratulations, Louise!” We couldn’t agree more, Whiting’s art is stunning.
So, very sadly for us we have to ask @armineh29 to hand over the baton to our next featured artist. We are going to miss this wonderful artist but she’s always close by and we do know that you are all going to be very excited indeed when we tell you who @armineh29 is handing over the baton too next.
Finally, dear Armineh, thank you so much for your care, your stunning curation and most of all, your company. Thank you x.
Please keep tagging your images with #TheAppWhisperer if you would like our new featured artist to find your art and hope to be found and possibly featured.
