This is an interview that is so thoroughly inspiring, Cirenza has always had deep trust in her instincts and ingenuity, she has faced and conquered her creative fears, she has asked herself off-piste questions, gathered intelligent, inquisitive, reflective people around her and created the ultimate subconscious artistic landscape, enabling her to live the most inspiring life with art and above all, she stays open.

Mobile Photography Intimate Interview with Juliet Morris aka @howtogrowaboy from Brighton, UK

2020-02-112020-02-11 by Joanne Carter

Our one hundreth interview in this series of intimate interviews is with talented mobile photographer Juliet Morris, you may know her from her popular Instagram account @howtogrowaboy. This is an interview that could not have been more fitting to celebrate our centenary in this series. It includes all the attributes I value, honesty, humour, emotion and stunning imagery. When reading about Morris’ marriage in the question ‘what is the greatest achievement of your life so far?‘, tears poured down my face, I’m emotional at the moment, but even so, I don’t think it will leave many with a dry eye. My favourite images without doubt, are ones, that I have taken the liberty of labelling fig 1 and fig 2. There’s a real raw Sally Mann feel to them and personally, I would love to see more like this. What Morris has, is the ability to articulate her vision in crystal clear luminous language. Enjoy!

Mobile Photography & Art – ‘Intimate Interview’ with Fiona Christian, from East Sussex, England, UK

2020-02-03 by Joanne Carter

Our ninety eighth interview in this series of interviews is with talented mobile photographer Fiona Christian from East Sussex, England, UK. We decided to launch this new intimate style of interview into TheAppWhisperer – the world’s most popular mobile photography and art website as we feel it is important that our community feel closer to each other. It is this support network that helps us to nurture one another, gain confidence and continue to grow.

Now, this intro is a little easier for me to write because I’m good friends with Fiona and when I think of her, there’s one memory that enduringly warms me. We generally meet at various art exhibitions and share our time and thoughts, usually including a good lunch somewhere. The memory that stays with me though, is one where we were walking down the Cromwell Road, South Kensington, SW7, we were just chatting but how we laughed, we laughed so much and so hard. That’s what good friends do, oh and another thing, she gives the very best hugs, so it’s a real pleasure to include this interview with Fiona and her beautiful art, it helped me to learn a little more about her too. Enjoy!
