Welcome to “Phonography Through the Lens of an iPhone” blog! Here in my blog I will be describing my journey and adventure of iPhone photography along with some of my own person work. So here are some of the blogs that I have choose as mentor blogs.
The first mentor blog I looked at was “Maddysdigitaldiary.” I chose her blog as one of my mentor blogs because her blog is very eye appealing and shows all of her latest photography at the top of her blog. The way her blog is very organized as well. I choose her blog also because of the types of photography she posts and goes into detail about. Some of the topics of photography she’s uses is landscape nature. I have also taken some camera quality photos of landscape nature on my iPhone of nature.
The second blog I have chosen as one of my mentor blogs is “KerryL29.” I really enjoyed looking at his blog because of the way it is set up. Though out his blog it shows his photography journey and the stories behind them. With every blog post that includes his work he explains the detail and the stories behind each picture that he has taken. One of his blog posts that intrigued me the most was “Just Do It.” This post stuck out too me because he is saying don’t hold back on photography, if you see something interesting or cool take a picture. It may only last a few seconds and you can always delete it later. Always take 3-4 snapshots of that one pose or object that you are concentrating on because some might not turn outright.
The third mentor blog I have chosen is “Absolutely Olivia.” The post of hers that I really investigated the most is “How to Take the PERFECT self-timer photo.” With quarantine going on and having nothing too really do but try and keep yourself busy I have decided to do self-timer photoshoots. It’s a lot of fun and gets you some cool new pictures! Her post shows her experiences and step by step directions on how to do it. I love being outside and doing photoshoots with my friends but with the lock down and everything being closed and can’t really be hang out with friends and be out and about unless needed. So, I have done of few self-timer photoshoots in my back yard.
“Who Needs Color, anyway?” is a blog post by Dave Ply. This post written on Dave Ply’s blog is all about the beauty behind black and white photography. Sometimes the beauty of photography is way more beautiful in black and white. Sometimes color takes away from the photos and with color being gone it may have more of a focus. With black and white photography, it may have the main object in more of a perspective.
