Bob Weil & Nicki Fitz-Gerald 
The Art of iPhone Photography 
Creating Great Photos and Art on Your iPhone

The Art of i Phone Photography explores how 45 of today’s best i Phonegraphers from around the world conceived, composed, and created some of their finest and best-known pieces-all in their own words. Through an understanding of the artists’ visions, creative decisions, and techniques, beginning through advanced i Phoneographers will immediately be able to apply what they learn and take their own photographic art to the next level.
Key features of the book include:

• A wide variety of styles and subjects: Landscapes, street photography, abstracts, architecture, portraits, collages, concept pieces, etc.


• Detailed tutorials: Example artworks from authors and contributing photographers accompanied by descriptions of how each piece was created from both a creative and technical standpoint


• Explanations for practical use of nearly 100 apps, including Blur FX, Camera+, Iris Photo Suite (now Laminar), Juxtaposer, Photogene2, Pixlr-o-matic, Scratch Cam FX, Snapseed, Superimpose, and Touch Retouch


• i Phoneography gallery: A stunning showcase of works by notable i Phoneographers

Always on, always at hand, and inconspicuously deployed, today’s smartphones empower us to record the world in ever newer and more personal ways. By leveraging the photo-editing applications found on the i Phone, professional and amateur photographers alike are able to create not only editorial imagery, but also creative art.




‘Nicki Fitz-Gerald and Bob Weil, at i Phoneography Central.com, have built a community dedicated to the burgeoning collaboration between art and technology that is i Phoneography. Their site, and now this book, offer extensive, in-depth tutorials both for budding i Phoneographers looking to advance their craft, and professionals attempting to harness a new toolkit in service of their vision.
What they bring to the table is their belief that ‘revealing the man behind the curtain’ does not diminish the teacher. Technique does not the artist make, but it does enable the newcomer to find his or her own voice. With thousands of apps available and more flooding the market daily, every new i Phoneographer wonders, What apps should I use? The answer to that question is so complex, with so many variables, that an illustrated tutorial such as this becomes an invaluable tool. There is really nothing like it.
It does not offer the advice of a single artist or showcase images from a small artistic segment. Indeed, it offers up stories, knowledge, tips, and secrets from many of the key players in the formation of this movement, showcasing more than 40 artists and tutorials and 80 pages of i Phonic art.’

Sobre o autor

Nicki Fitz-Gerald began her career as an illustrator in London after graduating from Chelsea School of Art in 1990. Her illustration work has been widely published in mainstream and business publications, and has been used on book covers for The Women’s Press. Since 2002, Nicki has been employed as a graphic designer. The purchase of an i Phone 3G caused her to become a ‘hopelessly addicted i Phoneographer, ‘ as it provided an outlet for creative expression outside the constraints of her day job. Her i Phone photos have since been highlighted in a number of online and gallery exhibitions. Several of her images have been featured on Life in Lo Fi’s weekly gallery ‘Favedon Flickr, ‘ and her image Flamin’ Amy, shown on the cover of this book, won 4th place in Life in Lo Fi’s Faved of the Year 2011. Five of Nicki’s images won awards at the 2013 Mobile Photo Awards, including the top prize in the Appstract Digital Painting category. All five were displayed at the Soho Digital Art gallery in New York City.In April 2011, after finding no central online resource for learning the art of i Phoneography, Nicki created i Phoneography Central.com. The website provides a place for both beginners and experts to share tips, techniques, and ideas via step-by-step tutorials. Nicki now divides her time between her day job, family, the i PC website and i Phoneography. Her online gallery can be seen on i Phone Art.com at: iphoneart.com/users/420/galleries.
