We are delighted to bring a new series of interviews to #TheAppWhisperer. Within this series, we contact well established and highly regarded mobile photographers and artists and ask them a series of questions. Each one relates to mobile art and photography that has influenced and continues to influence them, by other mobile artists throughout the world. Our first interview is with Sukru Mehmet Omur from Turkey, enjoy!
In this interview, Omur cites work by Clint Cline, Carolyn Hall Young, Teresa Lunt, Jane Schultz and Aylin Argun.
