Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase – 8 December 2019
The life of an artist encompasses many avenues, one perhaps that I am frequently reminded of is the need for solitude, to create. French philosopher, Jean-Paul Sartre said ‘hell is other people‘. Sometimes I agree, sometimes I disagree with this sentiment, like many, it depends on the company. Orson Welles said ‘we’re born alone, we live alone, we die alone’, I disagree, I was fully present when my three children were born, I’ve never lived alone and nor would wish to and I’d be surprised if I die alone. I have experienced a death of a loved one, who died alone but many of the deaths I have experienced, have…

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Amado Ergana from Ethiopia, Africa
Our ninetieth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented photographer and artist Amado Ergana from Ethiopia, Africa. You may know Ergana’s imagery from his popular Instagram account @ergana.amado. Ergana’s photography epitomises the craft of light and shadow, of course the former defining the meaning of photography. The Ethiopian light itself plays a key role in his work, as Amado deftly tames the light and shadow around his subjects moving beyond the ordinary and into the realm of dramatic street portraiture. Inclusive of his imagery, he draws us in with his revealing text, this is an interview that profoundly peels and exposes the senses. Enjoy! To read the…

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Mary Lorincz from Walnut Creek, California, United States
Our eighty ninth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented photographer and artist Mary Lorincz from Walnut Creek, California, United States. You may know Lorincz from her popular Instagram account @ms.divination. For Lorincz taking the photograph is only half the work. I imagine that she spends the same, if not more time on her post processing. Within her portraiture she loves deep and extensive areas of sepia and or black and in some cases the background is minimised or eliminated entirely to give greater emphasis to the sitter’s face. Some of the faces are also masked though as if concealment offers a new perspective to humanity, perhaps humanity…

Mobile Photography & Art – We’re Thankful to all of You!
Happy Thanksgiving! We’re reviving and in some cases refreshing our mobile photography and art thanksgiving post of last year because it’s as relevant today as it was then. Although we do not officially observe Thanksgiving here in the UK, for me personally, it gives me another excuse to send love and gratitude to our beautiful community. Without your art, your thoughts and your daily leaps of courageous self-expression, TheAppWhisperer would not exist. This week, I was in a prominent board meeting, seated around a table of five Directors of said company I was invited to. I was discussing your work and TheAppWhisperer. At the end of the meeting, one Director…

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Jana Curcio from Washington D.C. United States
Our eighty eighth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented photographer and artist Jana Curcio from Washington D.C. United States. This interview is refreshing and thought-provoking, a stirring exploration on friendship, feminism, self love and religion. Curcio I have now discovered is a woman who leaps from the page and into our hearts, she captured mine, almost immediately. There’s a depth to this interview and to the artwork, burning fiercely with love and hurt. She brings into focus, all that really matters and even her thoughts on the afterlife are poetic, “Absolutely! I’m so excited….. I can’t wait to get to heaven! I’m ready to go today in…

Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr/Instagram Group Showcase – 17 November 2019
I was delighted this week to learn that 45 year old Ivorian artist, Joana Choumali has become the first African photographer to scoop the Prix Pictet prize, winning with a series of embroidered photographs responding to the trauma of terrorist attacks in Ivory Coast in 2016. The series is entitled ‘Ca va aller‘ – meaning – ‘it will be ok‘, a reference to stoical reaction to adversity that she said permeated Ivorian culture. Her images were printed onto canvas and then later embroidered with stitches directly onto the surface. Combining photographic imagery with fabric and therefore, creating ‘conceptual portraits‘. She created this work ‘as a need to process the pain‘.…

Our eighty sixth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented photographer and artist Kaoru Shintaku from Singapore. You may know her from her popular Instagram account entitled @patragraphy. Shintaku is Japanese born and grew up in Tokyo but currently she lives in Singapore. This interview is inspiring for many reasons, her imagery which includes florals, cityscapes and landscapes are as precise as her language, as she utilises the use of colour and tone in tandem. Shintaku maintains her sang-froid throughout whilst simultaneously charming us as she hews closely to her thoughts and feelings. Enjoy!
