Hi everyone.
When I post, put out into the world, a photo from my iPhone, it is just that: a photo from my iPhone transferred to my iPad (I have failing eyesight so need the big screen). It is usually enhanced/adjusted/tweaked with a few Apps then posted to a few chosen forums. Likewise with my montage work, everything originates on the iPhone or iPad and each element is built up in layers until I reach a point of being happy with the work. There is no clip art or stock photography involved, no DSLR or compact camera images imported, it's all IOS originated. The same workflow would apply to other mobile platforms.
Over the past few weeks I have noticed a growing number of artists using work originated on DSLR's but worked on in mobile Apps on iPads / iPhones and Android devices. Several artists winning 'mobile photography' awards and nominations.
My question is this: Where is the line drawn? Should DSLR images be allowed in mobile photography competitions? Should it just be 'mobile only'? Should there even be a distinction anymore? Should it all just generically be referred to as 'Photography'?
I suppose I'm a bit of a purist in that I personally think if an image wins a 'mobile......' Award then it should be just that, Mobile only...
Let's here your thoughts.
