This is the first time anyone, anywhere has achieved a Fellowship in iPhone or Mobile Photography. He is the first Double Fellow of the BIPP in Ireland and one of a very small group of double Fellows worldwide. Recently he was also awarded an honourary fellowship from the BIPP, this is a rare award only 20 of these have been awarded in the 140 year history of the BIPP.
Please take a look at our @TheAppWhisperer Instagram account to follow all the goings on and please also tag your images with #TheAppWhisperer, so that they can be found and potentially featured.
He writes:
“@coeiphoneart Day 11, another surreal image this time by @jules4921 – Rita Colantonio I like the way the passageway leads to the tree, no leaves on it, is it dead or about to reawaken to a new dawn, the figure moving out of the frame taking a different path to the left. The use of an overlay of clouds gives an ethereal otherworldly feel to the image which is of this world but it is also not this world. The Raven or Crow adds a slightly sinister note. A great image”.

Joanne’s compassion, inclusivity, and humility are hallmarks in all that she does, and is particularly evident in the platform she has built.

The online gallery specialises in prints for discerning collectors of unique, previously unseen signed limited edition art. Her journey towards becoming The App Whisperer, includes (but is not limited to) working for a paparazzi photo agency for several years and as a deputy editor for a photo print magazine.
