In a continuation of my series of interviews/questions and answers with leading iPhone photographers, I am pleased to introduce you to Sion Fullana, who currently exhibits his work via Flickr.

I was first introduced to Sion by John Morris, and as I think you will agree, Sion has produced some great photo's with his iPhone.

Q - Sion, where in the world are you based?
A - New York City. I'm originally from Majorca (in Spain), and I have also lived in Barcelona (Spain) and even Havanna (Cuba) for a while.

"Dressed to reflect"

Q - At present you show your work via Flickr, but do you have any plans for a dedicated website to show your work like other iPhoneographers?
Yes, I'm in the process of putting together my personal website (www.sionfullana.com), currently under construction, and I'm thinking of a specific one for the iPhone pics too.

"The tree of the fallen leaves"

Q - Is photography a hobby, or does it form part of your day job?
A - As a journalist and filmmaker, I assume it's an overall process. I have done some articles for Spanish media for which I also took the photos. But let's say that for now I'm not bringing the bacon home with photography yet. I hope I might one day! (Hahaha!).

"Someone took that cab!"

Q - Why did you chose to use the iPhone as your main photo taking tool?
A - After a year or so of seeing most of my friends with iPhones, my boyfriend gave me one as a birthday gift, knowing how special a present it would be for me. In the beginning, I thought it was an easy device to take simple pictures. But after postprocessing some of them, I came to realize of the iPhone's potential for a different type of shot, maybe less perfect, but with a very special "vibe". On the other hand, since you carry it everywhere, I love how it allows you to always be ready for a picture opportunity, and/or to be a bit "sneaky" for certain kind of street photography shots.

"Behind the glass"

Q - How would you describe your style of photography?
A - I think I tend to gravitate towards two genres: on one hand, street photography, with images of the city, its people, the street art, the architecture and all the urban flair. On the other hand, images that try to convey creativity, playing with either reflections, blur, macros or a more painterly style. In any case, my greatest goal with photography is try to raise awareness of the small details and the special moments in daily life that surround us but we tend to overlook in our rushed lifestyle. When people have told me that this is one of my strengths, I feel I'm on the right path.

"Woman on heels"

Q - Who if anyone inspires your photography?
A - Anyone who sees life unbiased through their lens when they take a picture. Photographers who shoot with their heart out there, trying to express something or share something. One of the most interesting things of being on Flickr is finding photo treasures day after day.

"Love will keep them warm"

Q - How many photo's do you think you have taken to-date with your iPhone?
A - At this very moment, I have on my library 1.970 photos taken with iPhone, having started by the end of July 2008, right after my birthday. Average of 400 pictures per month.

Q - What is your most favourite photo or photo's?
A - I have a few pictures that might not be necessarily the most viewed or faved by the Flickr crowd, but I hold very dear.

This picture because it's one of the most beautiful results in capturing the light that I've seen taken with an iPhone. I took this at a concert of Canadian band "The Dears" in Manhattan.

This picture because it reminds me a bit of a Pierre et Gilles style, and I totally got this by accident, going at a deli to get some drinks around midnight.

This picture because I learned with that one that with an iPhone and a good creative day, you can make visual poetry.

A - Although not taken with my iPhone, this picture has become the best I've taken yet and it holds a dear story behind. It was taken on election night, after Obama's victory was announced, on Times Square. This cute couple was there celebrating with a beautiful and passionate kiss, and I happened to be there and ready, and snapped the shot. A few moments later, I realized that this was a special photo and that if I were them, I would have loved to have it. So I asked them if they could pose for a regular portrait picture and got their card promising I would send it. When they got the kiss picture, they wrote me ecstatically saying this was the best present they had ever got and that if they got married one day it would be one of their dearest wedding gifts, a timeless memory taken in such a historic moment. Besides, this picture was featured twice at NBC's New York website right after election, and it brought me the biggest exposure to my photography up to today.

Q - What iphoneography apps do you use on your iPhone if any?
A - FotoTimer or Night Camera sometimes, but specially my favorite: Vint B&W, that allows you to take a photo and if you're happy with the result, convert it into a beautiful black and white photo, with a very interesting texture. The only downside is that pictures taken with this app won't show that they come from an iPhone camera on the EXIF data.

"Sadness of a woman"

Q - Do you post process any of your photos on your iPhone, and if so what apps do you use?
A - No, I've tried some apps like Picoli, and the results are quite disappointing.

"Lunch chat"

Q - If you do not edit on your iPhone, what do you use to edit with, if anything?
A - I've been mainly using Picnik (http://www.picnik.com), that gives you some great choices to work with, very intuitive and with espectacular results. Lately, I used Lightroom a few times, but it all comes down to simplicity for me. That's why I won't even go near Photoshop.

"Pipe man"

Q - How do you upload your photo's to Flickr?
A - With the Flickr Uploadr application for MAC. In the beginning, I tried a few times to do so through the iPhone app Mobile Photos, but unfortunately it only uploads images with small size.

"Dreams of women: love and be loved"

Q - What improvements would you like to see Apple making to the camera features of the iPhone?
A - Besides the very craved 5 megapixel camera? LOL. It would be nice to have a litte more control over basics such as sensitivity or exposure, white balance, or the chance to choose straight from the iPhone if you want to shoot color or black and white.

I would like to thank Sion for his time answering my questions, and if you are an iPhoneographer who would like to showcase your work on this blog, or if you know an iPhoneographer who should showcase his or her work, then please let me know.
