New technology brings new creative outlets. If you had told me ten years ago that I would be taking pictures and doing artistic manipulations on my PHONE I may not have believed you. Yes, this piece (posted in the spirit of Halloween) was shot and fully edited on my iPhone. It sort of reminds me of the closing scene of the director’s cut of Brazil (not the love-conquers-all version) and that’s okay.
Not only is it ridiculous that you can do stuff like this on a mobile, it’s appalling that you can do stuff on a mobile that’s this much better than what I can do on a real computer using Photoshop.
So I guess actual talent factors in somewhere, as well….
sometimes the talent is having the right tools. honestly, that one wasn’t that hard and the (good) tools that they make for mobiles are pretty idiot proof so they just ‘do a good job’. This was six steps with the first two being ‘take picture a while ago’ and ‘choose which picture to use’. I’ll share the rest if you’d like. i like to think i has a few skillz but i’m also happy to share them with those who want to learn.
and yes, it’s kind of ridiculous that this is mobile phone-based.
that is freakin SWEET!
