Mobile Photography & Imagery – Eighth Assignment ‘Belonging’ #tawbelonging
Yesterday we published our ‘Ladylike’ chapter for our forthcoming book ‘Away with Words’. If you missed that, please go here to view. Today, we’re extending the contribution date for our latest assignment ‘Belonging’, due to the busy Christmas/holiday period.
To take part please send your image(s) to my email address – joannetheappwhisperer@protonmail.com and/or to Instagram with this hashtag #tawbelonging. At the end of each month, we will gather the images that have been contributed and select one for this immersive critique.
I will personally write this essay 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.
To date we have published chapters by the following artists: Rita Colantonio, Valeria Cammareri, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago, Peter Wilkin, Becky Menzies and Lee Atwell.
To read some of our previously published chapters, please go here.
Creating art, photography or otherwise, is an outlet to express our emotions. This eighth assignment can be interpreted in your art literally or metaphorically, or any other interpretations you may draw, all entries are welcome. This assignment window will now close on 21 January 2020, when we will announce the new one. To take part please send your image(s) to my email address – joannetheappwhisperer@protonmail.com and/or to Instagram with this hashtag #tawbelonging.
