The iPhoneography Showcase of Aik Beng Chia aka Pixelmunky
Tuesday, August 17, 2010 at 11:00AM | Glyn Evans About me: My name is Aik Beng Chia aka Pixelmunky, I’m a freelance designer, an illustrator and an iPhoneographer from Singapore. During my free time I like to illustrate and some of my illustration can be found at www.pixelmunky.com and of course my iPhoneography at http://www.flickr.com/photos/pixelmunky/collections/.
When I got my iPhone in 2007, I stumbled upon an iPhone photography site: ‘Just What I See, The iPhone Street Photography Of Greg Schmigel’. It got me interested in iPhoneography right away, and I’ve been using my iPhone to capture images for 3+ years now and most recently street photography.
When I got my first iPhone, the only app I had was Toy Camera. Subsequently, I got Best Camera. Now I’m constantly on the lookout for new apps. Currently my favorites are Cross Process, Plastiq Camera, Best Camers, myFilm, polomoid and Hipstamatic. Most of my black and white photos are post-processed using Plastiq Camera. As for the rest, I experiment by mixing and matching during post-processing.
iPhoneography to me is an art by itself, every image I captured is about randomness, spontaneity and different perspective at an instant and post process in an iphone. I learnt to take pictures without people noticing, which works very well especially when I’m shooting street photography because I don’t look like a pro. It’s the convenience of having it with me and uploading it to my Flickr or my group ‘World Through My i’ in Facebook wherever I go.
