Spotlight on Mobile Photographer – @jone.reed – Joné Reed
Joné Reed is a London based photographer. Her instagram account is mainly focused on portraiture, primarily sequences of dark and grainy shots, playing out like a movie but also intertwined with colour imagery, laying bare a story of intimacy. Allowing the viewer to observe the relationships between her subjects, depicting family members with all the complexity that that brings. We view emotional discoveries, moments of calm and deepness, quiet and introspection. This is more than a personal visual diary, Reed realised she was giving shape to her own childhood memories and at the same time portraying generations evolving over time, on connected poetic and tender journey.

“Each carefully constructed, colour saturated image is its own Boateng masterpiece, but together they become something even greater: iconic.” TheAppWhisperer Derrick Ofosu Boateng is a contemporary Art photographer who was born in Ghana and resides in Accra. Boateng attended Kumasi high school and is currently a student at the university of Ghana business school. He is a fan of football and watching movies. “I came into photography around November 2017 with the perception I had that the world didn’t see the happy times and didn’t know the extraordinary lifestyles and behaviours we Africans had. When growing up I noticed through movies, stories and musics that, the mindset people had about…

Reflections…
Visual, lingering, photographic poetry, partially obscured images with reflective streaks, taken through glass. Gillian Brodie discusses how the fleeting moment is one she craves, to capture for eternity. I am fascinated by the reflections I see when walking through urban environments. They are not immediately obvious, indeed you could say they’re not even there until you know how to look for them. Most people see a shop window, but to me there’s a whole new world hidden in plain sight. “These pictures represent the world beyond the every day – other layers of reality, dimensions that exist behind the superficial. They are right there if you are willing to look beneath the surface”…

A walk in the Old Town
This series focuses on streets you go to, not go through.
