"Mobile Photography" - the art of taking pictures just with a phone and no fancy equipment. It's just simply one device that can fit in your pocket. The reason I love mobile photography is that you can capture a moment at any time and anywhere, as long as you have a mobile, and your imagination, you can make a photograph be whatever you want it to be.

Robert is a dutch photographer based in Hertogenbosch and specializes in landscape & cityscape photography. From the moment he first picked up an iPhone, he was addicted to photography. He said that photography made him more aware of beauty that surrounds him. He believes that beauty is everywhere, you just have to open your eyes to see it.
This my favourite image that he has taken. I really like the mute blue colour of the sky and the clouds. He also captures the architecture of the building with great detail. He has used a worms eye view looking up towards the building. This can be something I can easily replicate with one of the buildings in Manchester. He may of also use the rule of thirds and power points to focus your attention directly on the building.

Roger is a black and white street photographer.
Out of the photo's that he has online, this is my favorite as it catches the most emotion. It is an old man playing a guitar while staring straight into the camera. The photographer has used a black and white filter which creates a sense of sadness. The photographer may of also took in to account the rule of thirds to focus your attention on the model.-
