Life in LoFi: iPhoneography | iPhone Photo News, Showcases, App Reviews

[UPDATED: Date corrected. =M=]

Knox Bronson’s Pixels – The Art of the iPhone is presenting the first iPhone photography exhibits directly associated with Apple. Up to now, Apple has sold us iPhones and apps to take the pictures, but hasn’t yet exhibited in-store what the iPhone is capable of. These are significant events.

Knox also coordinated the first brick-and-mortar iPhoneography exhibit, “Pixels at an Exhibition” in Berkeley, California in February, 2010.

If you’re in or around the San Francisco Bay area this Thursday evening July 8, iPhone photographer Knox Bronson (who curates Pixels at an Exhibition) is giving an interesting presentation on iPhone photography, art, and apps at the Stockton Street Apple Store. Knox is one of the biggest proponents of iPhoneography as an art form and has done a lot of work to help expose the art of the iPhone in brick and mortar gallery setting, including the world’s first gallery show devoted to iPhone photography.

Pixels An An Exhibition is showing a new exhibit of iPhoneography. art@TheOakbook opens this Saturday, May 15, 2010 at the Oakbook Gallery in Oakland, California. The opening reception starts at 4:00 PM and the public is invited. The exhibit will run for one month.

Among the iPhoneographers represented are works by Maia Panos, Jaime Ferreyros, Daniel Berman, Fabio De Vincentiis, Andrea Mdos and many others.

art@TheOakbook is an entirely new collection of iPhone photography, different than was shown previously at the Giorgi Gallery exhibit in February. A full-color program of the exhibit is available from the PixelEx website.

If you will be in or near The Bay Area this month, be sure to include plans to see this new exhibit from curator Knox Bronson. It’s another impressive collection and the photography is amazing.

Pixels At An Exhibition has announced their Featured Artist for May and it’s Suzan Mikiel Kennedy, a iPhoneographer whose work I’ve admired since it was displayed in the Giorgi Gallery Exhibit earlier this year. I think Suzan has an amazing eye and her photography is often amazing, many times ethereal, and often very personal and human.

During the course of the show, Suzan’s distinct style and vision—the straight forward and unadorned capturing of life as it happens, the ephemeral moments which distill the magic of reality into an image—caught the eye of many a visitor, often engendering the remark “I can’t believe these were taken with an iPhone!” — a phrase we heard perhaps more than any other in the month the show ran.

Her work will be featured on Pixels At An Exhibition all month long.

Jaime Ferreyros

Two of the features that I like about Knox Bronson’s Pixels At An Exhibition are the monthly Featured Artists (of which I was selected) and the Artist-In-Residence. Both are an extended focus on an iPhoneographer and give you a more in-depth look into some of the best or more personal works of the artist and their work.

This month’s PixelEx Artist-In-Residence is Jaime Ferreyros. I’ve admired Jaime’s work for some time, his photography, his poetry and his iPhoneography. He has an amazing eye for color, contrast, composition and finding the moment.

As he said in a recent interview (link available after the jump), iphontography “allows you to show the beauty that is in everything and everywhere.”

His images are a testament to that philosophy and approach to image-making. His use of color and his sense of composition, as well as his use of apps, are impeccable. As iphontography has recently emerged from its infancy as an art form, Jaime stands out as one of the pioneers of this new medium.

Well-deserved congratulations to Jaime for being selected as this month’s Pixels At An Exhibition’s Artist-In-Residence.

PixelEx/Pixels at an Exhibition: Dada Left

As part of my Featured Photographer for March 2010, we’ve just posted more exclusive images at Pixels At An Exhibition. You can browse them all if you click here.

Much of it is photography of the street art in Deep Ellum — the area of Elm Street just east of downtown Dallas. Deep Ellum is a strip of three, maybe four streets of bars, restaurants, clubs, tattoo parlors, art galleries, vintage stores, old warehouses and lofts. Baylor Hospital where Mickey Mantle died is a couple of blocks away. Most of the buildings are old — old for Dallas, anyway. Many of them surviving gentrification since the 1920′s.

His Name is Freddy

This month, March 2010, I am glad and honored to have been invited to be the first featured photographer for Pixels at an Exhibition. Knox Bronson is the curator and webmaster for PixelEx and helped put together the recent Giorgi Gallery exhibit of iPhone photography.

I recently shot a photo story just for this gallery. They’ll only be posted at PixelEx this month.

I love the spontaneity of shooting with an iPhone. Despite the relatively low resolution of my 2G, it really can take remarkable photos. More importantly, it’s there with me all the time to capture remarkable images. As they say, I have a camera that I sometimes use to make phone calls.

Head over to my intro page on PixelEx and you can click here to view my images.

Thank you, Knox et al, for this opportunity.

I hope y’all enjoy my photography. Thank you for visiting.

Pixels at an Exhibition at Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley was recently covered by two Bay Area newspapers — The Oakland Tribune and Contra Costa Times. Here’s a link to The Oakland Tribune article, “iPhone enthusiasts mount Berkeley photography exhibit”. The same story was run in both papers. I’m not sure how long this link will stay active.

“While hundreds of the cell phone camera’s fans are passionate about their medium and flock to Web sites such as flickr or use blogs to share their photos, iPhone photography is still very much on the fringes of the mainstream art world. So using a selection of grainy, artful images from his Web site, Bronson and Oakland resident Rae Douglass have mounted “Pixels at an Exhibition” at Berkeley’s Giorgi Gallery, which they believe is the world’s first gallery display devoted exclusively to iPhone photography.”

Read the full story here. >>>

It’s a good read, great publicity for the gallery show, and more good exposure for the art of iPhoneography.

Pixels at an Exhibition runs through February 27, 2010 at Giorgi Gallery in Berkeley.
