I Create Surreal Southern Art In Mississippi With My Iphone

ADVERTISEMENT

I am a stay at home mom in Mississippi who found a passion for creating unique art on my iPhone when I discovered Instagram in 2011. The social network was new and I loved it immediately. I’ve always been a creative person, but only truly explored that side of myself when I began playing around with apps on my iPhone. My total immersion into all things (iPhone photography, Instagram) became an obsession and now in 2015 400K people are following me and my photography art. I am humbled!

People often ask how I make my photographs, what my favorite apps are, and if I use Photoshop. I wouldn’t be able to navigate Photoshop even if I owned one! The only device I shoot and edit my interesting photos with is my iPhone 6 (which was an iPhone 4 with a broken screen for the first year). Recently, I started the hashtag #createdoniphone on Instagram to label my work so people can tell which of my cool photos have been manipulated on my mobile device. My favorite apps change frequently but currently, they are: Snapseed, Superimpose, Alien Sky, Circular, Facetune, Flood, and Retouch.

My beautiful photos are influenced by living in the South. I was born and raised in Mississippi and still live here today. My goal has always been to show a different side of Mississippi to the world. I want the viewer to go on a visual trip with me to Oz when they look at these stunning pictures. Music, travel, nature, and movies also inspire me.

    I've been been seriously dedicated to photography at an art form since the early '60s. The camera has, to me, always been a limitless tool for self- expression. The photos here are perfect examples of it's infinite capabilities. Never stop experimenting!

    They are wonderful. I do not have an iphone but I have played around on my Kindle and my might see if I can get some of the apps you mentioned. Some could go right into a fairy tale book.

    This is a really nice collection of before and after shots! Thanks for the examples of photo manipulation. I will try them soon. Love it! I should send your examples to photo editing services lavalu fixthephoto and my freelancers which I use and make it with my pics.
