Anatomy of an Edit - I See Sap People
While hiking near Lake Arrowhead on a photo shoot, I discovered a tree trunk with sap dripping down the side. The colors were so brilliant that I took a few photos of it. While viewing on my iPad, the sap started to look like figures to me, so using Sketch Club, I drew some lines around the figures I found.
There seemed to be a gent with hands in his pocket on the left and I wanted to emphasize this figure.
The orange in the background started to resemble the side of a building as I worked so I added a window from another photo using the layers function Sketch Club app.
Back to Snapseed for some tuning and cropping.

Painterly Mobile Artist - Aylin Argun
Monday's Painterly Mobile Artist feature normally includes just one image that the artist has selected. This week I was sent two images by artist Aylin Argun for me to choose from. It was so hard to choose only one, so I decided to include both of them. You may know Aylin by her Instagram name @xxfromneptune.
Please visit the Painterly Mobile Art Flickr group to see more from Aylin and all of the artists! Do you like to edit in a painterly style? Please join the group, we'd love to have you!

The Artist
Aylin Argun - I live in İstanbul, Turkey I attended basic photography education and dark room seminars in 2005 at AFSAD (Ankara association of photographic artists). AFSAD is one of Turkey’s most prominent photographic training centers. I’ve been working on iPhone photography, editing and photographing via my iPhone for over two years. Along with black and white photographic works, I have been creating painterly photography with an emphasis on autobiography.
Aylin's Commentary
This Witch is About to Fly: A witch who can fly thanks to her red shoes. I took this photo with camera and self-timer. I turned it into a pictorial photograph on ArtRage. With paint tube, I added some red paint; I spread the paint as I wished with the help of the palette knife which I use frequently; sometimes using the Smearing Edge and sometimes Basic Palette Knife. After that, I added texture on the photo via ScratchCam.
Kirke: Kirke is a magician goddess in Greek Mythology (She was renowned for her vast knowledge of drugs and herbs. Through the use of magical potions and a wand, she transformed her enemies, or those who offender her, into animals. She was a minor goddess of magic or sometimes a nymph, witch, enchantress or sorceress.) I used only ArtRage and Snapseed for this photo; I created the brush effect via Palette Knife on ArtRage and I exercised contrast and brightness control on Snapseed.

The Artist
My name is Erika Carrillo Brothers, originally from Monterrey Mexico, and residing for the last 10 years in the US with my family where I was inspired and have great fascination for photography. About a year ago iPhone photography and app art become part of my daily activities, I love to create, blend and modify images to give them a finished painterly look, combining self-portraits and abstract concepts which is my main fascination as a concept.
Erika's Commentary
In this particular piece "Woman in the dark" are many layers of texture (I love the texture). I started to work with Superimpose with a black background, then used Snapseed to give contrasts of light and color, with little highlights to the facial features. I gave a little more texture to the piece by using iColorama, and finally I worked a lot with various combinations of layers in Modern Grunge to give the final finish I was looking for.

Mob Paint Monday No. 38
Somehow I got off schedule and I've missed posting a Mob Paint Monday Showcase. The longer time between showcases made it even more difficult to isolate only a few works to feature here. Please visit the Mob Paint Flickr Group to see all of the wonderful creative pieces this community of artists produces!
Please contact me using the contact form at the top of the blog. I'd love to feature more workflow posts so we can all learn from each other.

Robin Robertis - Featured iPhone Photographer
Little did I realize when I attended the L.A. Mobile Arts Festival in 2012 that I would end up interviewing some of the featured artists one day for Art of Mob. It was that event and the work of the many talented photographers that pointed me in the direction of mobile photography. I am pleased and honored that Robin Robertis took the time to answer some questions about her life and her work.
What is your name and where do you live?
RR: My name is Robin Robertis and I live in a wonderful beach town called Encinitas in California.
How did you get started in mobile photography?
RR: I was working with Photoshop, my friend and Photoshop guru, Jack Davis brought over the first generation iPhone and said I had to get it...and so I did.
Do you have a traditional photography or art background?
RR: Nothing traditional about me. I never went to college and just signed up for art classes of all types here and there. My works have included so many different types of media including: encaustic, bronze, oil, and collage. I learned Photoshop before I ever really picked up a camera, because I could collage images and art that I created in a 2 or 3D form. I was never a photographer, but just hung out with them. I wanted to be a painter, but it’s not my strong suit. So I am really enjoying combining what I have learned and using the iPhone and apps to create my finished work.
Who or what inspires you?
RR:
What : People the most, flora, water, and my travels
Who : My my portrait painting teacher Vanessa Lemen. She has had a great deal of influence on my work, inspirationally and I carry over the techniques that she taught me in painting in my photographic work.
My friend Karen Daspit who shoots fine art flora. The most amazing work to me, which I connected with instantly.
I also grew up on the ocean, and was a swimmer and diver in my early years. My father still surfs, so I have a big love of underwater photography and have been experimenting with my iPhone underwater case by Optrix. I'm honored to have a featured shot on their Instagram site a couple of times. My Pinterest page has links to some of my favorites artists.
Do you plan your shoots with an end in mind or do you shoot and decide later as you edit?
RR: Sometimes if I’m shooting in the pool, but most of the time not. I’m a heavy editor, basically because I shoot fast and I try and cover up a lot for lack of my photographic skills. I'm very ADD, so I’m all over the place. I shoot with two iPhones. I will shoot the same thing in lots of different apps, and filters and then see what turns outs.
I love your new series of floral images on black backgrounds. Can you share a bit about the shooting and editing process?
RR: I live in a tree house type flat that is floor to ceiling windows. It's my fire place in the afternoon light, serves as sort of a natural black light box.
What are your favorite apps for editing?
RR:
1. Snapseed. I do all my basic editing here. I love that they have a paste feature. My workflow is usually Crop, Automatic, Tune, Detail, and Selective Adjust tool (which is my all-time fave!). I also like the HDR feature, and my long-time favorite is Grunge. The Frames are tasteful, though I like PhotoToaster's frames the best.
2. TouchRetouch. I touch up all the spots and obvious flaws.
3. I have also been liking AntiCrop, along with Handy Photo's Magic Crop. I often extend the canvas and re-crop for Instagram.
4. Adobe Photoshop Express is my new favorite app for its presets, replacing PhotoToaster, my former favorite. The sharpen and reduce noise feature rivals that of Noiseware.
5. Blender and Filterstorm
I first saw your work at the L.A. Mobile Arts Festival in 2012. Has your work been exhibited elsewhere?
RR: Yes, quite a few places - you can find a Pinterest board here that includes all of my published iPhoneography.
Have you ever sold your work? If not, any plans for the future?
RR: Yes, I have. I also do commission work. I was commissioned last year by Emmy Award winner composer Larry Groupe to shoot the cover of his original scores CD using my iPhone and am a signed artist with a book cover publishing company. I was lucky enough to get two covers this year for Mobiography. I currently have some work at The Empty Spaces Project - Putnam, CT. Also, recently I had three pieces in the Pocket Vistas exhibit in Ontario, Canada, the New Era Museum Kansas City as well as New York and Toronto galleries.
What advice would you give mobile photographers just starting out?
RR: Shoot what you love, your everyday. Experiment...Take that unexpected angle. I’ve been told the best camera is the one you have with you, and it's digital! For those of us who are old enough to remember film, let go of the old instinct of holding back and shoot, shoot, shoot. Connect with iPhoneography groups on Flickr, Instagram and Facebook and share with your fellow artists.
Is there anything else you'd like to add?
RR: I am so excited to be in this group of new cutting edge artists. It's so exciting to me, and I can’t help but wonder what the artists of the Modernist, Dada and Surrealist movements would have done with this this medium.
