This article came up on my facebook news feed this morning, and though i dont own an iPhone i think it's still a brilliant idea and not something i have come accross before! The article states it has been 'developed for professional and serious amateur photographers' and while this is more than true i think it would be a great place for non-serious amateur's to get a taste for photography. Similar to the debate with the Instagram app i suppose in that people dont see it as valid photography work because they take a picture and stick a filter over it without being able to control any other element, but with this app you really can. But does it then become seen as invalid as it's images taken on an iPhone? Well look at the work of Thomas Demand which i have written about in a few posts below, they were taken with an iPhone, and i think they're great pieces of work!
People have become sceptical about photography and its ease of accessibility, which is not surprising as it's such a competitive field anyway, but i think its amazing that we have these new forms of communication through photography and can't wait to see what the reaction to this app is. It can be purchased in iTunes for iPhone 4 upwards for a small price of £1.99/$2.99 - enough to make me consider getting an iPhone myself! Or maybe i'll just borrow a friends...
