Mobile Photography / Art New Year Resolutions 2019 From Artists Throughout The World

28/01/201920/01/2019 by Joanne Carter

We are delighted to publish our New Year Resolutions for 2019 from a selection of highly talented mobile photographers and artists throughout the world. As in previous years we have asked mobile photographers and artists for their New Year Resolutions with an accompanying image or video . Thank you to everyone who has contributed, they all make great reading, viewing and are inspiring, we are forever grateful to you all.

One of my New Year Resolutions this year is to accept an invitation to at least one Private View Exhibition each month. Naturally, I do not want to attend these on my own, so I am inviting our readers to contribute to each opportunity by supplying questions for the artist I am viewing. The first private view I will be attending this year, is in early February, with Tracey Emin, at her major solo exhibition entitled ‘A Fortnight of Tears’. I’ll be chatting with Emin there, so please forward any questions you would like me to ask her, on your behalf. Another of my New Year Resolutions is to try to give each individual artist more of my time. That’s no easy task but I believe so strongly in all of your work, I want to encourage and help as much as I can. So, to each and every one of you, I wish you a very Happy New Year, with much good health, wealth and success!

(Editors note: If you have not contributed to this post and you would like to, or if you have sent me your brief and I have not included it here, please let me know and I will open up this post and add it and of course you have my apologises in advance).

New Projects – Our New Form of Artistic Installation aka ‘The Quilt’ Is Ready!

13/09/201811/09/2018 by Joanne Carter

We’re delighted to inform our readers that the quilt that so many of you contributed to, has now been completed. For those of you not aware of this project, it involved mobile artists contributing one image and each one was then carefully included within a large quilt to be displayed at the next gallery show or even Mobile Arts Festival. There has been a few obstacles along the way and we have overcome each one. This quilt was sewed together and finalised by none other than mobile artist, Lorenka Campos’ mother in law. We all owe her much gratitude. The quilt is now with Lorenka Campos, so if you would like to display it at your next event, please contact her for details.

I have also been reminded and I shouldn’t have needed to be however, “Linda Toki did the whole layout of the quilt and had it printed. She also spent days working on the catalog so I really think she deserves a shout out as the quilt would never have happened without her”. We all need to give huge thanks to Linda M. Toki – join me!!

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @luison – Day 5

11/05/2018 by Joanne Carter

We are so excited with our latest Instagram TAKEOVER this time with @luison – Luis Rodriguez from Mardrid, Spain. He is a respected and very talented mobile street photographer. @luison has been granted full access to our Instagram account and he is doing a very impressive job. We are very proud of him!

On Day 5 @luison highlighted the work of @manuelamatosmonteiro – Manuela Matos Monteiro and he writes “I am an architect, but I’m also a passionate mobile photographer in love with street photography. In fact, I have a small account where I daily post my street images. Therefore, I’ve been scrolling down the #theappwhisperer tag in search for street pics and I came across this amazing pic by Manuela. The big shadows are the main characters of this image, which is powerful and strong, yet delicate and beautiful. ~ @luison”.

Please take a look at our @TheAppWhisperer Instagram account to follow all the goings on and please also tag your images with #TheAppWhisperer, so that they can be found and potentially featured.

Mobile Photography – Instagram TAKEOVER with @sunflowerof 21 – Days 11 – 15

30/04/2018 by Joanne Carter

We are so excited with our latest Instagram TAKEOVER this time with @sunflowerof21 – Elaine Taylor, she is a respected and very talented mobile photographer. Taylor has been granted full access to our Instagram account and she is doing a very impressive job. We are very proud of her!

On Day 11 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @adrianmcgarry – Adrian McGarry and she writes “I was very happy to stumble upon this fantastic image on the #theappwhisperer tag. It’s atmospheric and dramatic, but also calming and dreamy. I can almost hear the waves and smell the sea when I look at it. What a beautiful image! ~ @sunflowerof21″

On Day 12 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @_soulkitchen_ – Valeria Cammareri and she writes, “Hello. @sunflowerof21 here with my next selection from the #theappwhisperer tag. Valeria is a brilliant mobile photographer and storyteller. I particularly love her black & white images, and the way she captures light & shadows. Here’s a great example. Head to her profile to see more fabulous images”.

On Day 13 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @pictrola – Todd Leban and she writes, “@sunflowerof21 here with another selection from the #theappwhisperer tag. When I saw this image on the tag earlier today, I immediately recognised it as Todd’s and pounced on it. Todd doesn’t post often, but when he does it’s always well worth the wait. He does still life like no other. His photos are not just a random collection of things neatly arranged within a frame. They are deliberate, beautiful, unique and creative. They have life and meaning. They have stories. Please go to the original post in Todd’s profile to read the backstory to this image and enjoy the rest of his amazing work”.

On Day 14 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @clixit2020 – Clint Cline and she writes, “I’m really chuffed to be able to highlight the work of @clixit2020 as part of my #theappwhisperer takeover. Every time I see one of Clint’s powerful abstract images, I wish I had created it. I love the colours, shapes and balance in his work. Like @pictola’s work, which I featured yesterday, each of his image tells a story and evokes emotion. I absolutely adore his work. If you’re not familiar with it, please check it out. ~ @sunflowerof21″

On Day 15 @sunflowerof21 highlighted the work of @manuelamatosmonteiro – Manuela Monteiro and she writes, “Manuela’s most recent post on the #theappwhisperer tag caught my eye today, and that led me on a very enjoyable journey through her Instagram feed. I simply had to feature her work, but choosing just one image was very difficult – her images are so varied and brilliant. In the end, I was swayed by the muted colours and composition of this one. She posted it a couple of years ago, but I think it definitely deserves to be in the spotlight again. It’s a really wonderful image and a pleaure to feature here. ~ @sunflowerof21″

Please take a look at our @TheAppWhisperer Instagram account to follow all the goings on and please also tag your images with #TheAppWhisperer, so that they can be found and potentially featured.

Mobile Photography – Latin American Mobile Festival and Awards 2017

28/03/201728/03/2017 by Joanne Carter

The Latin American Mobgrafia (mobile photography) Festival, FLAMOB, is an unprecedented initiative in the image world which aims to promote visual production on mobile platforms.

mObgraphia Cultura Visual produces in 2017 the 4th Festival edition at MIS – Museu da Imagem e do Som de São Paulo the most important visual arts venue in the country and during 45 days, displaying the exhibits as part of the official museum program.

This year on Latin American Festival, mObgraphia Cultura Visual at first will prioritise visual narratives in a more comprehensive way, and participants could explore themes showing stories they want to tell in a visual format: an essay.

Subtitles and short texts about the essay are welcome. “What’s your story?” opens diverse opportunities for visual storytelling.

This is an important shift in the path of festival award, focusing on building sets of stories, whether real or imaginary, that shows the current moment in mobgrafia (mobile photography as we call in Brazil) production, in addition to separate images so commonly found in social networks.

All other categories (except for essays), will have images submitted through participants open Instagram accounts with specific tags. (Street, bw, portrait, documental, arts and landscape).

Submissions closes on 2 April 2017.
