I love applying this smooth painterly look to photos. It works particularly well for minimalist landscape photos like this one taken of the beach near my home. The effects I use in iColorama are perfect for creating a light, dreamy and happy mood which is generally my state of mind when I head out along…
Upright lines or more properly put in photography terms, verticals feature strongly in this week’s Apps Uncovered photographs. The presence of vertical lines can really strengthen a composition especially if they’re repeated like the lines of the lamp posts and tree trunks seen below in our featured photograph from Mark Walton this week. Vertical lines…

The sky’s the limit in this week’s Apps Uncovered where you’ll notice in most of the images how a large part of seemingly empty space adds to the drama and feel of each photo or artwork. Thank you to Michael Beresin for our feature image this week “biking” where the shape of the clouds sandwich the…
My huge apologies for the late post this week. As some of you might know, I’ve been working hard (and having fun – see screenshot filming in my garden below) creating a new mobile photo art course launching in just a couple of weeks. I’ll be sharing all of my new discoveries creating digital collages…
Selected by Nicki Fitz-Gerald I’ve been saying this for over 10 years now…the iPhone is an extraordinary tool in the hands of creatives and this week’s gallery proves that once again. With most of us in a lockdown situation the challenges of confinement are forcing us to look at our immediate surroundings with fresh eyes.…

Podcast interview with Nicki FitzGerald – Yes, that’s me! If you have half-an hour(ish) to spare over the weekend you might enjoy this podcast of me on Apple Podcasts being interviewed about my mobile art journey over the last 10 years by Jon Gill.

Recently I have been using Procreate’s excellent Reference Panel tool to create quick “Ruff” paintings on my iPad. You can watch the 7 min video of how I made the painting below by clicking here. I call them “Ruff” paintings because the idea is that they’re not supposed to be a finished painting – they…
Do you know of a good OUTLINE app out there for creating thick, clean and stylised outlines like the image below created in PicsArt? – which is almost perfect by the way. You can see the original photo directly below this PicsArt outline. I’m obsessed with lines; quality of line and mark-making. For those of…

Creative inspiration is everywhere! Sometimes you just have to look down to see it. I’m at it again, trudging the pavement, finding inspiration in the most unlikely places, this time under my feet in the sand filled cracks on Weymouth’s esplanade during my daily walk this week. The damp weather had pressed the sand blown…
A few weeks ago I asked you to send your Pandemic Pavement pictures to iPhoneography Central. Thanks so much to everyone who contributed to the gallery, I’ve credited each you with your photos…oh- and I’ve included a few of my own. Since the pandemic, the pavements have been sprayed, chalked, stencilled, stickered, glued and painted…
