Mobile Photography and Art – Draw The Line Column – #AloneTogether
We are delighted to publish the results of our highly successful Draw The Line #AloneTogether Challenge. Huge thanks to our editors Carol Wiebe and Peter Wilkin for curating this and producing a wonderful video of the results. We had a fantastic response to #TAWAloneTogether & want to thank everyone who submitted to this challenge. The standard of entries was so high & it was incredibly difficult to select only nine images. We prioritised art that not only reflected the theme of the challenge but also incorporated intentional lines & marks that we felt enhanced the image. After a great deal of deliberation we finally settled on the following nine works…

Mobile Photography & Art Instagram/Flickr Group Showcase – 21 June 2020
“Photography is a foreign language everyone thinks they speak“, DiCorcia (1993-1994) cited in Galassi (1995). Photography is a language, adopted as a means of expression and communication or as an accompaniment to words. It has its own set of grammatical rules and codes. How we read an image is determined by our own personal background factors. A universal photographic language does not exist when compared to a spoken or written language. Photography as a language is more to do with an interpretation rather than a direct translation of information. Language connects people and it also divides them, any language only works if it’s understood. This weeks mobile photography and art…

Mobile Photography & Art – John Nieto Joins our Online Gallery
Multi Award Winning Artist John Nieto is based in California, United States. His work can be considered an intersection between portraiture, conceptual, street and journalism – a crossroad on which he stresses multiple layers of time, history and motion that constitute our present. This collection offers a mode of aesthetic perception and representation that emphasises the openness of the future but also underlines any conception of the present as a mere replay of the past. Nieto’s art invites viewers to probe the aesthetics of still images and to recalibrate their sense of time, his art is an event, it’s an experience to view and to share. We are exhibiting fourteen…

N95 MaskCo
I promised I would create a shout out to the N95 MaskCo and specifically the founder Ayrton Campbell. I need to endure medical tests this week, due to the medicinal drugs I inject and ingest and I’ve been very nervous about attending this appointment. I am in the most vulnerable group of patients in the UK of contracting Covid-19 and have been shielding for nine weeks so far and have not left my home. I have been fortuitous as my usual weekly medical tests were left to let run but now my maximum time is up and I have to attend this appointment. Like many of us I searched online…

Mobile Photography and Art Flickr/Instagram Showcase – 17 May 2020
Art therapy has the power to relieve trauma and I believe it should be used widely to help survivors rebuild their lives. There seems to be a general consensus that more should be done to end slavery and trafficking but still it is an area of criminal activity that appears to be on the rise, even as we now find ourselves in lockdown. Art therapy itself covers various forms, drawing, photography, painting, but it’s still not widely implemented in a role of healing for victims. This is a disparity that some aid organisations are not embracing, I wonder if it is because some donors are unprepared to invest in this,…
