I was recently contacted by The App Whisperer, a website specializing in mobile photography and mobile art about contributing to their popular "Day in the Life..." Q&A with mobile photographers. Being a regular reader and big fan of The App Whisperer, I happily obliged and set out to answer the 21 questions, as well as compile 21 of my favourite mobile images to accompany the "Day in the Life..." questionnaire.
I particularly enjoyed this exercise, as it is one of the only interviews I have done that centred exclusively around mobile photography. Some of the most interesting questions explored my transition from a 'traditional photographer' to 'mobile photographer', my mobile photography and editing workflow, my sources of inspiration and where I see the future of iPhone photography moving towards?
However, for me, the most interesting question was my Top Five tips for shooting mobile photography. Perhaps this is because I truly believe this handful of tips can be applied across beginner or expert photographers shoot either 35mm or mobile photography:
|
1) Shoot often.
2) Experiment and push yourself outside your comfort level
3) But at the end of the day try and remain true to yourself; if you are passionate about a certain type of photography, embrace it and go for it.
4) Try to develop a personal photographic style, a unique signature, something that you can be known for visually.
5) Look at other’s work and be inspired. Share your own work with them. Build and nurture that community.
