“I have a camera. Sometimes, I use it to make phone calls.”
Marty Yawnick is a freelance graphic designer. He owns Type A Design, a small but cool graphic design studio based in Dallas/Fort Worth. His degree is in Fine Arts from a college that’s about this big: |<———–>| .
In addition to capturing random moments with whatever camera is close by (usually his iPhone), his other interests include travel, Rangers baseball, Cubs baseball, The Packers, Premier League football, coffee, house music, and Spain and the former Spanish colonies.
“Welcome to my gallery and to how I see and capture the world.
“While I love digital cameras, especially the high-end ones that make my graphic design work so much easier, I also really love the primitive look of some of the unique analog cameras, lenses and film stocks. I love Lo-Fi photography. I have a nice Fuji DSLR of my own and can use my girlfriend’s Canon Rebel XL any time I need to. I prefer to shoot Lo-Fi. My iPhone is my favorite camera. It’s with me practically everywhere I go to capture found moments. For me, it provides enough image quality to capture the image, while introducing enough noise, texture, and digital “light leaks” to add presence to the image. I believe that this texture adds to the image much like film type and grain adds to an analog image.
“I believe that these limitations make you compose the best possible image in camera, adding a set of criteria that are not present when shooting with a high end camera. Basically, Lo-Fi photography is making art out of snapshots.”
