More Than 50% of British People Avoid Tourist Hotspots According to Recent Research
A report commissioned by Huawei to celebrate the recent launch of the P20 Pro handset, reveals that more than half of British people avoid photographing some of the most beautiful locations abroad whilst on holiday. This report was conducted in respect of holiday destinations within the UK. We are extremely short of space, here in the UK and overcrowded most of the time, so it’s not altogether surprising that we don’t wish to queue to take shots while we have some free downtime, sadly. The report goes on to say “UK tourists spend a collective 25 million hours just to queue, view and photograph landmarks, nearly half (45%) are becoming…

Visualising Mobile Photography and Art Interview with Alexis Rotella from the United States
Today, we are publishing our twenty fourth visual interview, this time with Alexis Rotella from the United States. Like all good art, Rotella’s work is definitely ambiguous but effervescent with pregnant incident. It reaches us on a metaphorical peripheral perspective, toying with our senses as we gather the context from the sides, to decipher our response. There’s earnestness aplenty, with the depth of emotion atmospheric in its elemental vista. Rotella is a talented artist, producing some of the most vibrant and vivacious explorations of mobile art at this time with the ability to emotionally engage. The viewer almost senses the conspiratorially whispers in their ears… I am so excited about this new…

PolarPro Mobile Filter System
Like many of you, I came to photography back in 35 mm film days. Nights (with others), in a darkroom gave me immense pleasure. The simplicities of mobile photography are extraordinary and you won’t find a bigger advocate of it because of this. That’s not to say that I don’t excited about accessories though now and again and right now, I will say in my typically British understated way, that from what I’ve seen so far, the Iris – Mobile Filter System by PolarPro and expansion pack, looks quite ingenious. Compatible with iPhone X, iPhone 7/ Plus, iPhone 6/7/8 and Pixel 2/2XL mobile devices, the Iris Mobile Filter System includes…

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 20 May 2018
“My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humour, and some style”, Maya Angelou – I couldn’t agree more… What’s happening now in the mobile art and photography scene, as in so many genres of art right now, is a revolt. It’s been building for sometime, but there’s now more urgency. And with that, artists are implored with a range of apocalyptic anxieties. Change is on the cards, however mindful we are aware of this pictorial elegance, we need to support it with passionate pleas and deft authority. At TheAppWhisperer we have a special relationship with…
