I take a lot of digital photographs or as I like to call them digigraphs. I create them exclusively with my iPhone and the vast array of apps it supports.

I distinguish these images from the photochemical reality created by photography. While analogue and digital photography share a vast array of similarities, there’s something specific, unique, about the images generated digitally.

The digital image is infinitely malleable, giving it a deeply subjective reality. The mobile-computer-camera combination allows us all to capture and shape our perception of the world, and distribute that vision immediately.

These images would not’ve been creating if not for the iPhone. It’s always with me, ubiquitous, allowing me to capture candid moments without the intrusion brought by traditional equipment.

I shoot almost every day, usually walking the streets while trying to keep the sun at my back. I rarely have the camera at eye level, preferring instead to hold it low while keeping a tangental eye on the screen. I cut the earbuds off the supplied headphones to make a digital shutter release so I can capture a scene with a click of the volume button.

I distribute these images across several platforms, first to my digigrah stream LessBeauty // MoreBrains then to Instagram, EyeEm and most recently AMPt Community.
