Modern Grunge is an iPhoneography app which applies tints, grunge and distress effects like no other. It allows grungy vignetted borders, rips and holes to reveal underlying (or overlying) textures. I prefer to use it delicately where its ability to ‘stain’ an image is impressive. Preferred bespoke combinations can be saved for use in future images. Highly recommended.

I have long appreciated the work by the Juxters at We Are Juxt. When I was asked to provide an interview and mobile photography workflow by one of their members I was delighted to do so.

Textured painterly floral iPhoneography image. Despite the cold weather outside, the good news is that in our house we have lots to celebrate at this time of year so I can flex my iPhoneography muscle indoors and keep my fingers warm.

My Nan has one of those old fashioned photographs of her sisters and her that have been manually recoloured and I wanted to try to simulate that on an iPhoneograhy image. Multiple masks turned this into a jigsaw.

As my iPhoneography evolves I thought it was worth analysing which apps I use the most? I’ve written enough workflows now to make a little initial analysis worthwhile. Any hidden gems? Worth a read.

Still life floral iPhoneography image in a painterly textured style shows Gypsophila against a heavily manipulated background. Post processing is made significantly easier by ensuring as clean a background as possible. Initial post processing involves correcting the lighting situation.

One of the joys of iPhoneography is that there is always a challenge. The inspiration for this Green Vase image was the Green weekly Challenge being run by New Era Museum on EyeEm. Includes workflow and link to feature.
