Mobile Photography & Art – Portrait of an Artist – Seeing Through The Eyes Of Armineh Hovanesian

2018-08-232018-08-21 by Ile Mont

We are delighted to bring to you the sixth in our brand new series of interviews within our Portrait of an Artist column entitled ˜Seeing through the eyes…”. This is a section that has been created by our wonderful Portrait of an Artist Editor, Ile Mont. Mont has been inspired by the life and works of Carolyn Hall Young, as so many of us have. Young was the main contributor to our Portrait of an Artist Flickr pool and filled it with portraits of so many wonderful people, not only of herself. It is for this reason that Mont wanted to create this section, to enable us to view the artists style through their own eyes. At the end of each interview, Mont will keep Young’s tradition alive, with a portrait of herself, seen through the eyes of the artist. In this case, you will see that at the end of this interview there is a portrait of Mont, seen through the eyes of Armineh Hovanesian, what a gift!

Please continue to post your mobile portraiture to our dedicated Flickr group, this way, Mont will search through these artists first to interview. (foreword by Joanne Carter).

iOS Mobile Photography App Tutorial – Fragment – by Jerry Jobe

2015-02-122015-02-12 by Jerry Jobe

We are delighted to publish this very interesting tutorial of the new app update to the app Fragment developed by Pixite. Over to you Jerry. (Foreword by Joanne Carter).

Fragment retails for $2.99/£1.99 and you can pick it up here

“Christmas Day of 2013 I published a tutorial on a brand new app by Pixite called Fragment. Of all the Pixite apps, Fragment may well be my favorite, with its ability to shatter the image into shapes, giving a new perspective to ordinary objects.

Pixite is not content to let their apps remain an excellent first try, and are looking to improve. The newest release of Fragment (1.6), hitting the App Store last week, gives us three new effects, 36 new shapes and the ability to add your own shapes. Let’s take a look at the new features, starting with this broken squares shape over a swirl created in iColorama“.

iOS Photography App Tutorial – Union – by Jerry Jobe

2015-01-092015-01-09 by Jerry Jobe

We are delighted to publish our latest iOS photography app tutorial, this time with the very successful app Union by Pixite. Jerry Jobe has written Part 1 of this wonderful blending app to help you gain greater control via the user interface. Over to you Jerry (forward by Joanne Carter).

“I’m a huge fan of the apps by Pixite. Last year around this time, I published articles on Tangent (see here), LoryStripes (see here) and Fragment (see here), followed later in the year by the brand-new Matter (see here). I even covered the app developed by Ben Guerrette pre-Pixite: DecoSketch (see here). So, naturally, I was excited when Pixite introduced two other apps in 2014: Union and Shift. I’ll be covering both of them in the weeks to come.

Union is Pixite’s blending app, working the same ground as Image Blender and Superimpose. I’ve covered both of those apps, along with the Blend feature in iColorama. I’ve given basic information on blending several times, including the use of blend modes like Multiply and Overlay. I won’t be repeating that information here. Instead, we’ll see if the user interface is more conducive to your workflow, and if the controls available are flexible enough for the work you want Union to do”.
