Many of you would’ve read the recent news from renowned German film photographer and filmmaker Wim Wenders ‘Phones Have Made Photography More Dead Than Ever’. He goes on “The trouble with iPhone pictures is nobody sees them,” Wenders says. “Even the people who take them don’t look at them anymore, and they certainly don’t make prints.” Obviously we can counter this easily as we have a phenomenal online gallery and print store, where each mobile image is not only created by some of the most renowned mobile artists in the business but in addition each is carefully printed with the upmost care by the most respected printer in the United…
