Mobile Photography & Art – ‘Away With Words – ThAppWhisperer Assignment Book – Volume 1’
Earlier this week we announced our first Mobile Photography & Art Assignment of the year. We are offering an opportunity for mobile photographers and artists to enter into a monthly assignment on a subject matter that we have individually crafted over a period of twelve months. At the end of the year, we will create a book, entitled ‘Away With Words – TheAppWhisperer Assignment Book – Volume 1‘.
At the end of each month, we will gather the images that have been contributed and select one for an immersive critique. I will personally write this with over 1000 words. Each critique will identify the elements, contextual meaning of these elements, interpretation and conclusion. Each critique will then be published not only on TheAppWhisperer, the world’s most popular mobile photography & art website but also throughout our vast social media channels. At the end of the year, we will publish a book featuring all of these critiques. As you can appreciate each critique will take some time to create well, so we ask, if you would like to take part to donate £10 per image that you submit (there is no limit to the number of images you submit), we feel this is fair. To do this, just select the appropriate allowance at the bottom of our donation section at the end of this post.
Our Assignment for January 2019 is entitled ‘Reflection’ – this can be interpreted both literally and figuratively, all entries are welcome and so far we have received some stunning ones. This assignment window will close on 15 February 2019, when we will announce the new one. To take part please send your image(s) to my email address – joanne@theappwhisperer.com and/or to Instagram with this hashtag #tawreflectionassignment.
Hello again…please donate
We have a small favour to ask. More people than ever are reading TheAppWhisperer.com and we could not be more excited about that. We specialise in mobile photography and mobile art and we value all of our readers, writers, contributors and viewers but we do have costs and we do need to ask for your help. We at TheAppWhisperer spend many hours each day, each week and each month to bring you this high quality level of journalism. We do it because we are passionate about it and because we want others to be as passionate too.
