iPhoneographers In Front Of The Lens #11 – Wayne Greer

Wayne Greer is an iPhone photographer with a strong sense of places and a deep fascination for the landscape. Mobile photography is a relatively new discovery for him, but even without any photographic background, Greer’s work is rich, eye-catching and has the power to immediately draw the viewer in. “I bought my first iPhone last October,” Greer tells us, “Other than a few snapshots here and there, I really didn’t start using apps to edit photos until March of this year.” When he’s asked how his interest in mobile photography started, he simply replies, “Just by chance, I came across some photos by Gianluca Ricoveri. I was really taken with how beautiful they were and amazed that they were done with an iPhone.”

iPhoneographers In Front Of The Lens #4 – Gianluca Ricoveri

Gianluca Ricoveri is a photographer from Tuscany, the beloved region in central Italy that many painters and poets have celebrated in their art for centuries. Gianluca is currently a dedicated iPhone shooter; he became acquainted with his iDevice’s camera after years of refining his skills with totally different equipment and formats and after learning photography’s ins and outs. Even with his artistic background, Ricoveri had no problem embracing the new mobile technology for his creative purposes. “I have always used many camera formats since I started taking pictures,” he tells us, “From 24×36, to 6×6 and the 13×18 optical bench.”

Gianluca describes his encounter with mobile photography as accidental. “I discovered iPhone photography by chance, after finding a catalogue of pictures taken with Hipstamatic. This showed a brand new world to me and the countless possibilities given by such a great app, so I started to experiment with various films, lenses and flashes by taking massive amounts of pictures. Since then, it was all about discovering new apps both for taking and editing pictures.”
