Streets Ahead
Streets Ahead is a Column and subsection of TheAppWhisperer.com (one of the largest and most popular mobile photography websites in the world). It is a Column dedicated to sharing and highlighting some of the amazing work done by talented women in this community… as well as exploring the unique and fresh perspective that they bring to this genre. It is brought to you by Cara Gallardo Weil and Gina Costa both with natural flair and talent for mobile street photography. They believe that street photography is ready to move in a new direction and hope you will embark on this journey with them too to explore and debate the aesthetics, techniques, and perspectives that women bring to this new movement.

Streets Ahead – Seventeenth Edition
Welcome to the seventeenth edition of “Streets Ahead,” a weekly column dedicated to women mobile street photographers. Each week we review and curate work that was submitted to our Flickr Group. In addition to creating a showcase video which features a sampling of submitted work, we also highlight a few images that caught our attention… offering some thoughtful commentary about technique, composition, and subject matter. Please note, however, that we’ve had the privilege of viewing some fabulous work submitted to our Flickr Group but we will not feature in our column… only because this is a Women’s Collective. (Sorry guys, 🙂 ) And since we are a Mobile Photography Collective, …

Mobile Photography – Streets Ahead Interview with Grace Brignolle
This week, the Women’s Mobile Street Photography Collective (Streets Ahead) is pleased and honoured to feature Grace Brignolle in our interview section. I first met Grace very briefly on a visit to New York last year. I wasn’t aware of her work until then and I started to follow her on Instagram. Her composition and sense of timing made her images stand out to me, and I became an avid fan of her work. In her words, ‘the streets are her inspiration’ (see feature in ‘Hipstography'”) and through her eyes we catch glimpses of an array of street scenes around New York city and its environs. You can explore more…

Mobile Photography – Streets Ahead Interview with Lee Atwell
The Women’s Mobile Street Photography Collective (Streets Ahead) is extremely pleased and honored to feature Lee Atwell in this week’s interview. When I first learned about Lee’s work, it was immediately clear to me that she is an artist who definitely walks around with a pair of keen and sensitive eyes… because each one of her images is made up of beautiful compositions, textures and colors. Yet at the same time, she touches upon (and brings out) an emotional, almost spiritual, “feel” to her subjects and landscapes. It is has been a real joy and privilege getting to know Lee and work more completely… and it is highly recommended that…

Streets Ahead Interview: Jeanette Vazquez
This week we are extremely pleased to feature Jeanette Vazquez in our interview segment of “Streets Ahead.” I was really happy when Jeanette agreed to do this interview… because I’ve been following her photography for several months now. And what I admire most about her work is that, at first glance, I think I am seeing just a simple ordinary candid shot. But when I pause and look more closely. I inevitably find myself discovering more layers. Jeanette is clearly an artist who relies on her eyes, emotional connections and instincts to dictate her artistic decisions… not words or “stories.” We hope you enjoy her interview. And after reading this…
