iPhone Imagery

Jurors' Statement

 Mobile photography has given us an exciting new tool for creating both innovative single images and multi-layered composites. It has enabled us to tap into our creative spirit at any moment, rather than having to pull out a big camera or sit down at our desktop to use Photoshop.

All of the wonderful submissions to “iPhone Imagery” have proven just how powerful this tool can be. These images also reveal the spirit of those who are open to embracing a new art form and those who are willing to push the limits of photography.

Thank you all so much for sharing your lovely photography. I lived with them daily and chose those that held my attention over time, as well as those that would work together in a group show. I looked for images that push boundaries, and also those that exhibit skill and knowledge of the tools.

Congratulations to all who submitted their work to iPhone Imagery. For those whose images were not selected, I encourage you to continue to develop your personal style, pushing to be better than those whose work you admire. Whether your work was selected or not, I hope competitions like this one will inspire you to keep digging deeper as an artist.
