Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @tankaqueen – Days 12 to 14
We are so grateful to @tankaqueen – Alexis Rotella, whom we entrusted with our Instagram account for fourteen days after she was gracefully handed the baton by @lisarmitchellphotography – Lisa Mitchell. To view all the posts in the series, please go here. Or of course, head over to our @theappwhisperer Instagram account.
On Day 12 @tankaqueen highlighted the work of @badgrowshop – James Ellis and she writes “@badgrowshop creates curious portraits using overlay techniques that challenge the rational mind. I especially love this fish-eye girl. Today is my 12th day of the Instagram Takeover…until tomorrow, it’s Alexis Rotella @tankaqueen signing off”.
On Day 13 @tankaqueen highlighted the work of @lars.hansen1303 – Lars Hansen and she writes “Lars.hansen landscapes are worth checking out. Tranquil scenes that are sure to quell frazzled nerves. My 13th day of Takeover, one more to go. Signing off…Alexis Rotella @tankaqueen…congratulations Lars!”
On Day 14 @tankaqueen highlighted the work of @tatsmosc Maria Moscoso and she writes “Congratulations @tatsmosc Maria Moscoso for your brilliant look at infinity. That gigantic ball of intelligence we call the sun is a mysterious being and we are it’s children. This is my last day of the Takeover. I thank Joanne Carter for inviting me and for trusting my judgment….Alexis Rotella @tankaqueen”
So, very sadly for us we have to ask @tankaqueen 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 @tankaqueen is handing over the baton to next.
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.
Day 12 @badgrowshop
