Hm?
I have never really used my phone for photography until a few months ago. It is getting increasingly interesting because of the cameras the phones are fitted with now. I am on an iPhone 7+ and I am not a very good mobile photographer - but I like experimenting. So what can it do?
I took this while waiting for my dad to unlock the fucking car door...
Selfies - the obvious use
I do not like selfies, so mine has always been a 'mock' approach, or an artistic approach - laced with self irony. Or indeed to make some sort of statement. People look stupid on selfies, so might as well take it to the extreme. On the move photography should be inspiring or spontaneous art. Mostly, people use the selfie for vanity - and communication - what they are indeed communicating, is anyone's guess.
A scene
Sometimes you come across some interesting motifs in the city scape, and most times, it is easier just flipping out the phone, and snapping that fucker. Which is where 'sharing' makes sense. It is fun - and it is also fun seeing other people's finds and getting some laughs on your own. I love 'finds'. The problem is, as perfect as these things are for sharing with others online, Art unfortunately is not.
I always like to leave our readers with a healthy afterthought
Accidental Art
Although...sometimes you come across something random. It could be a pattern that no one else has spotted. The nooks and crannies of larger cities are a goldmine for this. But anywhere is good, really - it's all about your attention to detail, your mentality and how curious you are.
