Mobile Photography & Art – ‘Intimate Interview’ with Julie Denning from San Francisco, United States

19/09/2019 by Joanne Carter

Our sixtieth first interview in this new series of intimate interviews is with talented mobile photographer and artist Julie Denning from San Francisco, United States. This is an interview that has really resonated with me, perhaps because I found many similarities to my own; her work ethics – necessities, her health issues, her general outlook on others, all of this touched me and I will be eternally grateful to Denning for completing this interview, because it helps me to grow closer to her and I think that’s a rather nice place to be. Enjoy!

Carol Wiebe Joins TheAppWhisperer as New Columnist for ‘Draw the Line – Mobile Art as an Expression’ A Brand New Column

17/09/2019 by Joanne Carter

We are delighted to announce today, talented mobile photographer and artist, Carol Wiebe is joining us as New Columnist and Editor for our brand new Column entitled ‘Draw the Line – Mobile Art as an Expression’.

Wiebe explains what this group is all about; “this group is about mobile photos with the added touch of applied line. If you are a mobile artist who is in love with line, this group is for you! You might apply line work in the form of drawing, adding patterns, lines, and marks. Perhaps your lines are stitched, or glued, with thread or string. Lines can be a major element, placing drawn components into the photo that help to draw out (yes, pun intended) the meaning you, as the artist, want to express. There will be examples provided for inspiration, but we are counting on your imagination and talent to marry these two venerable art forms into a fascinating hybrid.”.

Within ‘Draw the Line’ Wiebe will curate the very best mobile art. She will interview successful artists, create challenges, engage in their processes, showcase their work and more!

We have a Facebook group dedicated to ‘Draw the Line’ and like our other Facebook groups, this will provide a platform for discussion on the techniques, aesthetics and goals that all mobile photographers bring to this art form. Please join this group.

We have also set up a special Flickr Group for ‘Draw the Line’ where we would like you to submit your images to for curation in showcases. In addition, we have a hashtag for Instagram for this group too, entitled #tawdrawtheline – please use that when taggin images on Instagram. Please join this group too.

TheAppWhisperer is growing at a phenomenal rate and trying to include as much unique content and variety from the mobile photography and art wold as our readers can possibly digest, you really don’t need to go anywhere else!

Please join us in welcoming Carol Weibe to TheAppWhisperer family, Welcome Carol!

Mobile Photography & Art – M. Cecilia São Thiago Joins TheAppWhisperer as our New Portrait of an Artist Editor

16/09/201916/09/2019 by Joanne Carter

I am delighted to announce M. Cecilia São Thiago has accepted my personal invitation to become our new Columnist and Editor for our Portrait of an Artist Column. You may recall this position was previously held by Ile Mont who did an incredible job with the column for several years. She stepped back a while ago to spend more time on her other important projects. We miss her of course and thank her for all her work and support. Before Ile Mont, Jennifer Bracewell held this position, and also had to step back after several years for the same reason. However, we are very exicted to work closer with M. Cecilia São Thiago and know she will be a huge asset to our growing team here at TheAppWhisperer HQ.

São Thiago is an artist whom I greatly admire, her photographs are exquisite and allegorical in nature. Their vitality is instrumental in pulling the viewer into a very intimate world chronicling the self and beyond. Mysticism and spirituality have long informed São Thiago’s practice and she is refreshingly transparent about her work. She once told me, “my photos carry in each of them everything that I have learned, what I have lived, and what I have suffered”.

We have all brushed up against the sublime feeling of wonder, with sudden realisation that we do not know. Viewing Sao Thiago’s images enable us to recreate that emotion, allowing ourselves a bit of wonder, with the potential to forget what we think we know and to revel in the immediacy of the magic of her work, holding us close, as we unravel.

Influenced by two great Viennese modernists, Egon Schiele and Gustav Klimt, it’s fascinating to view the concision and extremely intelligent images that São Thiago creates. Each as luxurious, immediate and above all, tender to the next.

We also feature her work within our online print gallery and that can be viewed here.

To be featured within our Portrait of an Artist column, please ensure your images are submitted to our Flickr Group (here) and also tag your images within Instagram with #tawportraitofanartist. We also have a Facebook group and you can access and comment within that (here).

Please join me in welcoming dear M. Cecilia São Thiago to TheAppWhisperer family!
