iPhoneography finally get recognized by the photo press, as this months American Photo magazine has an article all about iPhoneography. The article is a little lacking in content, but does cover 4 well know photographers that all use their iPhones to capture that moment, and is a move the right direction.
The iPhoneographers covered in this article are, Chase Jarvis, Lisa Wiseman, Greg Schmigel (who we've covered on here) and Sion Fullana who we covered here and famously got a photo shot as a result of appearing on this blog.
There are a few apps covered in the article along with some other professional photographers who are using their iPhone to capture the things they see.
If you in the USA you should be able to pick up a copy of Novembers American Photo magazine, but if like me you are from elsewhere then you can get your electronic copy of the magazine via Zinio.
Now all we need is a dedicated iPhoneography magazine, and maybe something the iPhoneography blog should do, but what do you all think?
Friday, January 2, 2009 at 8:00AM | Glyn Evans In the first of what I hope will be a series of interviews/questions & answers with current leading iPhoneographers, I am pleased to bring you my first interview with Greg Schmigel of "just what i see" fame, the person who I consider to be the original iPhoneographer, and who inspired this blog, showing just what really can be achieved with the iPhone camera, proving that no matter how good or bad a camera is, it is the person behind the camera that makes the picture.
As with other interviews Greg has given, I've decided to interspersed a selection of Greg's photos with his answers.
Q - So Greg where in the world are you based?
A - Currently, I live in Arnold, Maryland which is just north of Annapolis ... and just south of Baltimore. I grew up in the Washington, DC Metro area in a town called Hyattsville.
Q - When and why did you create the "just what i see" website?
A - I launched www.justwhatisee.com about 2 years ago. Originally it started out as a general photoblog Web site, but for more than the past year, it has become 100% iPhone photography. My current site is actually version 2 of Just What I See. I have begun to focus primarily on people on my Web site. The original version had a little bit of everything, and it had gotten a bit cluttered.
Q - Is photography a hobby, or does it form part of your day job?
A - I like to think of photography as therapy more than a hobby. I find peace when I am out walking a city street, shooting what I see. I work as an Online Marketing Coordinator for national nonprofit organizations during the day. And no...I haven't quit my day job yet.
Q - Why did you chose to use the iPhone as your main photo taking tool?
A - After I purchased my iPhone, I was immediately drawn to the camera application. I was impressed by how well the camera could actually perform. I didn't actually intend to let my 'real' cameras collect dust, it just kind of happened that way. Anyone looking to by a 40D rig?
Q - How would you describe your style of photography?
A - Well, my favorite 'genre' of photography is black and white street photography. I don't like to call myself a street photographer, as I don't think I am there yet. But if I had to choose a 'style', I guess I would lump my style into the street photography group. I love to shoot real people, doing real things.
Q - Who if anyone inspires your photography?
A - Everyone's photography inspires me. Whether its a famous street photographer, one of my fellow shooters, a tourist or even the kid down the street with his new shiny digital point-and-shoot camera. I see photography as an art form from which inspiration can be gained on all levels.
Q - How many photo's do you think you have taken to-date with your iPhone?
A - Just a minute...let me check my iPhoto. 4,236 and counting (as of 12/30/08).
Q - What is your most favourite photo or photo's?
A - If you're referring to photos from other people? One of my all time favorite photographs is a shot by Diane Arbus called "Child with Toy Hand Grenade in Central Park" ... there's something about that photograph that gets me. But to be honest, the list goes on and on. If you're referring to my own photos...well, I don't think I have a favorite. I'm still working on creating it.
Q - What iPhoneography apps do you use on your iPhone if any?
A - The only iPhone camera app I have, and seldom use is CameraBag. I downloaded it to check out the Lomo and Holga-like features. They're pretty cool. Check it out if your into that type of photography. I tend to avoid special apps for the iPhone camera because they drain the battery faster than just shooting with the native camera app. And all of us who shoot with an iPhone know that battery life is hard to come by. (Pick up a Mophie Juice Pack...you'll be very pleased with it.)
Q - Do you post process any of your photos on your iPhone, and if so what apps do you use?
A - I do not edit my photos in the iPhone itself. If I process an iPhone photo, I do it in Apple's iPhoto. Most of the time, I simply convert my shots to black and white and post them to my Web site.
Q - Do you upload images to your website directly from your iPhone? if so with what app? or do you ftp them?
A - In the early days of Just What I See, I would upload directly from the street to my Flickr account. But I learned quickly that uploading and even viewing my photos for that matter should wait till the end of the day...for battery sake, that is. But now, to the thanks of places like Starbucks...refueling the iPhone has never been easier. Just remember to bring your wall cable and plug with you. They're too busy making "low-fat triple-shot caramel macchiatos" to notice anyhow.
Q - What improvements would you like to see Apple making to the camera features of the iPhone?
A - There are three areas where I think Apple could improve the camera:
I'd like to take this opportunity to thank Greg for his time with this interview, and if there are any questions I've missed, or you have anything you would like to ask Greg, then please post in the comments section below, and I am sure Greg will only to happy to answer them.

Monday, December 1, 2008 at 10:00AM | Glyn Evans Whilst preparing this blog, I spent some time Google'ing, looking for other iPhone photography related websites. iPhone photography sites seem to be few and far between, however the good news is that what sites are there seem extremely good (and I hope you think this blog fits in to this category)
The original iPhone photographer, and the best site to date for inspiration is Greg Schmigel's Just What I See. Greg's work shows just what can be done with the iPhone, all-be-it edited outside of the iPhone. Greg's site does have a blog page, although sadly this does not seem to have been updates lately, but if you find his work interesting then you may want to check out the following Greg Schmigel Interview, and iPhone photography - in the hands of an artist, as they make an interesting read.
In addition to Greg's site, there is iPhontography, which is a blog similar to this one, but sadly after only a short time is up for sale, and I guess if no one buys the site it will eventually fade away, which is a real shame as the articles to date have been very good.
Whilst writing this post I stumbled across the following new website, iPhography, which is very much like this site, offering news and reviews for the iPhone Photographer. The only thing I do not like about this site, is that it has been operating for just a few weeks and already it is asking for donations and advertisers, which kind of goes against what blog sites are all about. Don't get me wrong, advertising is a good thing when your site is established and helps pay the bills, but launching a new website and offering advertising space from the off could be counter productive and send out the wrong message.
If you are reading this article and there are any apps that you would like me to review, or if you are an app developer and would like me to review your app, or if I have missed any other good iPhone photography websites then please let me know.
