Mobile Photography & Art – Portrait of an Artist – Seeing Through The Eyes of Meri Walker

08/02/201908/02/2019 by Ile Mont

We are delighted to bring to you the third of this years series of interviews and the fifteenth of this fascinating series, 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 are portraits of Mont, seen through the eyes of Meri Walker, what a gift!

Please continue to post your mobile portraiture to our dedicated Flickr group or use this hashtag on Instagram #tawportraitofanartist, this way, Mont will search through these artists first to interview. (Foreword by Joanne Carter).

Mobile Art and Photography That Has Influenced Me – Interview with Judy Lurie Wahlberg from the United States

02/11/201802/11/2018 by Judy Wahlberg

I am so excited to publish this brand new interview with Judy Lurie Wahlberg. One of the many reasons I created this series of interviews was to allow each artist to take the time to appreciate the many other artists in our community and to share those thoughts with them and also the world. I adore it when I read comments from one artist to another thanking them for including them within this series, my eyes fill with joy, what power you bring to each other, such happiness, such motivation to create more. This is how we grow, we bring each other up. As my very dear friend and artist Carolyn Hall Young would say ‘this life is not a competitive sport, or a war and we can always choose to be eternally grateful. Humans need the support of the community, fear keeps you isolated”. Know that TheAppWhisperer community has your back it is a place of nourishment, this is our safe place, enjoy, please read on….

We are delighted to bring you the thirteenth in our brand new “Mobile Art and Photography that has Influenced Me” series of interviews at TheAppWhisperer. Within this series, we contact well established and highly regarded mobile photographers and artists and ask them a sequence of questions. Each one relates to mobile art and photography that has inveigled and continues to impact them, by other mobile artists throughout the world.

‘How I Did It’™ with Rad Drew ‘Using iPhone’s Portrait Mode’

10/09/201810/09/2018 by Rad Drew

I’m excited to share another How I Did It!™ video tutorial created for TheAppWhisperer! The feedback from our wonderful mobile phone community has been great! If you have a particular topic you’d like me to cover in a future video, please share your suggestions! And thank you Joanne Carter for creating this space for sharing and learning, and for inviting me to be a part of it.

Today’s video tutorial features the Portrait Mode in the iPhone’s native camera app. The Portrait Mode works in combination with the dual lenses on the iPhone 7 Plus, 8 Plus, and iPhone X, to allow us to create a narrow depth of field that was previously only possible with traditional cameras. A narrow depth of field is a great way to draw the viewer’s eye to our subject, whether the subject is a face, a flower, or other element that we want to isolate and feature.

In this tutorial I demonstrate the use of the Portrait Mode and show how, with the 8 Plus and the X model iPhones, lighting can be selected both when shooting as well as after the shot has been taken.

Thanks for watching and stay tuned for more to come! Until next time, keep on shooting!
