Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 9 September 2018
Mobile Photography and Art, to me, is about, among other things, interconnectedness of our lives, about what we choose to see and ignore as we move through our own worlds, about the power of small acts of decency. Our shared vision is so vivid and multilayered enabling what we produce to become something more than remarkable. The real joy in this weeks Mobile Photography and Art Flickr Group Showcase, is the relentlessly compelling and extraordinary portrayal of lasting beauty. I have tried to create an atmosphere offering privileged access into multiple spheres of existence, discovering the secret languages of each work of art, conferring dignity and consequence with each image…

Three weeks ago, we announced our brand new ‘Women’ section within TheAppWhisperer and we kicked off with our first ‘Talking Points’ with the incredibly talented mobile artist, M. Cecilia Sao Thiago, where she visually channeled the creative argument of ‘what if I wasn’t me?’, envisaging herself as an artist whilst physically being a male, as opposed to female. If you missed that, please go here. Following that we published the first in our Women’s ‘Wide Awoke’ section with Armineh Hovanesian (see here).Last week we published our second instalment to this series with Deborah McMillion(see here).

Instagram TAKEOVER with Mimi Svanberg (@imagomimago) – Days 6 – 7
For the past week Mimi Svanberg @imagomimago, has been publishing three of her images each day to our Instagram feed and it’s been captivating. When viewing this body of work (which you can view in full in our Instagram feed, @theappwhisperer), I’ve felt a vulnerableness in Svanberg’s visual language, there’s a tactility in this body of work, illuminating the view, that time is in flux. Each image may suspend one moment but that’s the illusion. Her photos lose their boundaries, becoming a continuation of ritualised awareness. We’re drawn deeper into the present moment and then we’re allowed to transcend time, entering willingly, with want. Svanberg is a master of atmosphere,…
Mobile Photography & Art – Flickr Group Showcase – 2 September 2018
The myriad of new material that greets me each Sunday morning in our Mobile Photography and Imagery Flickr group is always so full of hope and its a privilege to wake up to. This weeks Showcase is deeply and satisfyingly intelligent at its heart. It’s emotionally and intimately audacious but also compassionate, benevolent and warm. Perhaps what’s most extraordinary and moving about this body of work is the portrayal of modern day mobile photography and art psyche at its heart. This Showcase represents my weekly gift as each one of you absolutely and defiantly rise above the queasy mire of traditional photography noise and triumph. Enjoy! Thank you to all…
