“It was during the 6th century BC that the first versions of circuses and this type of entertainment appeared. Gathering at the Circus Maximus in Rome, 150,000 people attended performances.

From the magician to the madman, from the little teacher to the strange neighbor, from the eccentric aunt to childhood best friend, from Mimico to the trapeze artist, almost everyone seems to me here.

They are all part of a movie in which only children are real characters, as if only they are actually able to understand what is around us”. Maria Cecilia de São Thiago.

‘How I Did It’™ with Rad Drew – Using the iPhone Portrait Mode and SnapSeed Portrait Editor

01/05/201901/05/2019 by Rad Drew

It’s great to be back with another How I Did It!™ video tutorial for TheAppWhisperer community! This video explores the 1-2 knockout combination of the iPhone’s Portrait Mode with SnapSeed’s Portrait editor tool.

This video focuses on editing images taken with the dual lens iPhones. In this case the portraits were made with the iPhone XS Max, but any of the dual lens iPhones from the 7 Plus to the X can be used. In fact, you can use SnapSeed’s Portrait editor on any portrait, not just those taken with dual lens cameras. In this video, editing occurs in both the iPhone photo editor, and in SnapSeed’s Portrait Editing tool.

Mobile Photography & Art – Portrait of an Artist – Seeing Through The Eyes Of Bob Weil

25/04/201925/04/2019 by Ile Mont

We are delighted to bring to you the seventh of this year’s series of interviews and the nineteenth 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 Bob Weil, 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. Our thirteenth interview is with Judy Lurie Wahlberg from the United States enjoy!
