URBAN ECHOES: The Art of iPhone Street Photography
URBAN ECHOES: The Art of iPhone Street Photography For generations, street photography has captivated audiences with its raw and unscripted documentation of candid moments in urban settings. The genre has undergone substantial creative evolution over time, yet the core objectives remain: to capture the essence of daily life through a lens of authenticity and an imaginative eye. Inspired by the mid-twentieth-century masters of street photography, I set out to create images with my smartphone that reflect my interpretation of the urban landscape. I am a long-time user and champion of iPhone photography. For more than a decade the device has been a constant companion for me, capturing life’s moments and helping me to…

Mobile Photography – The Changing Face of Florence with Covid-19 Captured by Dilshad Corleone (@italianbrother)

He relocated from London to Florence last year and has been capturing the changing face of the streets as the coronavirus crisis develops. We have created a showcase of his work and will hopefully add more images to this as time goes on. Stay well Dilshad.

Mobile Photography – StreetWise – New! Eleventh Challenge – ‘Shooting from the Knees’
“We do not take pictures, we are taken by pictures” Ernst Haas Forget ‘shooting from the hip’, the theme of our next challenge is ‘shooting from the knees’. Sometimes, as street photographers, we may find ourselves feeling a little stagnant and we may desire to travel away from our usual environment (a new town or city) to find fresh inspiration. However, when that is not possible, changing our perspective can offer a refreshing change. For this next challenge, we invite you to get low – squat, kneel, lye of the earth, put your mobile phone on the ground – but, have your camera lower than your knees (or thereabouts)…
