Mehmet lately wrote me,
Today, I am very proud to announce to you the publication of my brand new book about our favourite subject, mobile photography. This is my new book calledShoot, Edit, Share; iPhone Photography.It’s in Turkish and sold in Turkey. I can say that your workshop in Larnagol-Toulouse France two years ago helped me so much to achieve this difficult task. But it was also my New Year's resolution for Joanne Carter’s TheAppWhisperer.
So I ought to thank you first for this workshop wherein I found out plenty.
As you know I offered all my complete frame DSLR cameras and determined to head my photographic manner with my iPhone. Why iPhone and not any other telephone?
IPhone has all new technology on it and I don?T worry about the technical settings earlier than capturing, and that enables me to pay attention on my framing, shade distribution, evaluation, lighting fixtures, and the ?Feeling? Of the surroundings. The decisive moment of Henry Cartier-Bresson is very critical to me. All that the iPhone gives, is so properly for an advanced amateur photographer like me.
Here is the preface of my book:
"Use your cell cellphone digital camera, have amusing; Enhance your photography, share your artefacts with Instagram and Facebook. Smart phones have modified the policies of the game within the world of images with their small length, presence always, and first-rate of the lens.
They are quick and easy to work with, take stunning images, can flow snap shots to different dimensions thru packages, and we are able to get entry to masses of thousands of them through social networks like Facebook, Flickr, Instagram and Tumblr. This book can help you use your mobile digicam more effectively and take the great pictures of your lifestyles with it.
If there are individuals who need to go similarly, they'll also open the doors of ?Mobile artwork? With their programs. The magic is based totally at the iPhone digicam, but the capabilities it deals with are not unusual to all mobile telephones. For this reason, those who do now not have an iPhone phone also can advantage from this e-book.?
Beyond the exceptional and advanced generation of the iPhone camera it permits me to create cellular art with the assist of many applications that I can locate on the Apple store. I can share them on my social media money owed. Now I slight with my cell artists buddies many Facebook cellular artistry and iPhone images groups. I also organize iPhone pictures and mobile artistry workshops in ?Stanbul and in Paris.
Soon we will with Andrea Bigiarini, founder of NEM NewEraMuseum, for an exhibition all through the Paris-Photo weekend this November. It?S on a amazing subject matter, ?Forced Captivity.?
