Twelve Days of Christmas
My Task over the Christmas holidays was to take 12 Christmassy photos for the twelve days of Christmas. Above are my examples.
What is Mobile Photography?
Mobile Photography is using a device such as an iPhone, iPad, android phone or android tablet. This photography is simpler because you do not need to pay for expensive cameras and expensive camera accessories. This helps you create images in a more pure state. Also you can use many of the simple but effective editing apps on the store of the device. This form of photography is able to be taken, developed and shared all in one place. The picture only takes a little time to be uploaded to any number of social media sites where it can be seen by hundreds or thousands of people.
Issues and Problems
When out and about taking photos of things and people I came across some setbacks and other problems. Many times seeing what I wanted to take a picture of through my own eyes looked good but it was difficult to capture the moment on a phone. Also sometimes while taking photos of people I felt slightly uncomfortable. And when I had taken up my phone a moment could have passed by the time the software had loaded. Another problem was that my phone didn't take photos in the dark very well because in Bath when trying to take photos of ice skaters all I could see was a few lights and outlines of some people.
Oliver Lang
Oliver Lang is a mobile photographer who focuses on taking photos that are heavily street oriented. He enjoys capturing the honesty of everybody's day to day life in true essence. Oliver Lang began using mobile photography in Australia where he could get good photos because of how sunny Australia is but he has recently moved to England where he works on his street photography. Oliver Lang expresses his points in an interview done by William Huynh.
On Oliver Lang's website www.oggsie.com he demonstrates his Street, Instagram and portrait photography he manages to capture people simply going about everyday life normally with a twist. My favourite of his work is dog at a playground because it simply takes a dog and makes him look more impressive and powerful.
