Mobile Art Course – “Painting With Light : Creative Long Exposure Mobile Photography” by Nicki Fitz-Gerald
I am delighted to promote this brand new mobile art course created by internationally acclaimed artist, author, and instructor Nicki Fitz-Gerald. This course offers a way to create unique mobile art images that allow light to be recorded, slowly, over a period of time as a still image. The results are quite different from traditional long exposure photography. Nicki begins with the most popular (and familiar) effects, but then quickly moves on to the more creative side of long exposure photography … showing us how the very nature of long exposure of photography on an iPhone can be very different from what can be achieved on a DLSR camera. Indeed,…

Apple announces powerful software updates designed for people with disabilities
This is truly wonderful news! Apple has announced powerful software updates designed for people with disabilities. They’re all wonderful and I will detail their features below but one particularly interests me. It is the Made for iPhone Hearing Aids and Audiogram Support features. Many of you will be aware that I cannot hear, so to manage, I wear hearing aids but the ones I wear are not ‘Made for iPhone Hearing Aids’ so I cannot benefit from this significant update but for people who can afford to have this style of hearing aid, just being able to upload your audiogram chart directly to adjust the sensitivity of your hearing aid, is…

Mobile Photographer Rachael Short Explores the Beauty of Simplicity with iPhone
California-based photographer Rachael Short likes to keep things simple. Shooting photographs around Carmel, California, she searches for new textures, lighting and contrasts to capture in her portraits and landscapes. She prefers black and white, brushing off colour as a distraction. “Life is so chaotic, so it’s something to simplify and calm things down,” Short explains. In 2010 at age 28, Short suffered a spinal cord injury in a car accident along California’s Highway 1 on Halloween night. She was diagnosed with a C5 fracture in her spine. She was quadriplegic.

Tracey Emin – A Fortnight of Tears – Exclusive Video and Insight
I happily spent this morning/early afternoon with Tracey Emin at a press invitation to her brand new exhibition entitled ‘A Fortnight of Tears‘ at the White Cube, Bermondsey, London, SE1. This is a major exhibition installed throughout the gallery’s spaces, exhibits include sculpture, neon, painting, film, photography and drawing, all focusing on Emin’s own memories and emotions, arising from loss, pathos, anger and love. This exhibition is one to feast upon, throughout the exhibition Emin articulates the joy and suffering that is intrinsic to our human existence.

What does Brexit mean for love? A Portraiture Series by Laura Pannack ‘Separation’ with Affinity Photo App
I am delighted to publish this incredible series of portraiture by Laura Pannack a London-based photographer. The series was commissioned by British Journal of Photography and created with Affinity Photo, a professional editing software app for iPad. Affinity Photo, Apple’s official iPad App of the Year 2017, was used by Pannack throughout the Separation photo shoot. “To have something so versatile and so advanced on an iPad is astounding,” says Pannack. “Because the editing is incredibly quick, we could try different things out.” Each portrait is accompanied by candid reflections from each couple detailing how Brexit has personally affected their relationship. The couples that feature in Separation are all of…

Photography – Capturing Watson – An Interview with Albert Watson
I am a huge fan of Albert Watson OBE, so when Taschen sent me this interview, I thought I would share it with you too. Watson has just completed a new book with Taschen, entitled KAOS. The book is not only oozing with dazzling subjects but also, the well known ravishing Taschen quality, of which, there’s nothing really like it. KAOS spans nearly half a century of photography to encounter stars, statesmen, women, and strangers; bound through neon-blazing cities; find figures poised, gymnastic, or shimmering with nude eroticism; roam the bright lights and the backstreets; soak up extravagant sunsets; enter the controlled studio environment; and breathe in the elemental wilds…
