1000 Words Facebook Showcase v5, April 2014

Welcome to the fifth edition of the We Are Juxt 1000 Words Facebook Showcase!  Over the past several months, we have seen the group grow and watched their inspiring work being posted daily.  We are happy to be able to showcase some of the outstanding work that is being shared.

We Are Juxt believes that mobile photographers/ artists tell stories through the photographs/ images and art that represents their families, their environment, themselves. This is important because of the level of communication that is portrayed in imaging today.

We want to support the mobile arts community by having a place for artists to share, discuss, and critique (if requested by individual). These dialogues help the individuals and the community to grow.

We look forward to you and your art. We thank you for your contribution to the mobile photography/ arts community. To submit your work click here.

I thank all of these artists for generously sharing their processes with us.  – Jen B

"Lost Memories" by Eitan Shavit

Website / Instagram / Flickr / NewEraMuseum

This photo was shot at the Jewish Quarter, in the old city of Jerusalem.

I was moving towards this man, shooting the whole time, but the position of the hands from behind did the magic for me.

Shot with Hipstamatic / JohnS / Blackeys SuperGrain, cropped and lightly edited in Snapseed (shadows/brightness/) and then transferred to ModernGrunge. This is an absolutely creative app with endless variations of grunge/scratches you can play with. It has many fixed presets, but any of them can be easily changed and manipulated to achieve astonishing artistic results. I always start playing with the random feature. Every click will take you to a whole new world. Once I come across an effect I like, I go into the manual adjust mode and make further changes until I’m satisfied with the results. Finally, all my BW photos end up in the AltPhoto app, which has great BW film-like effects.

"A Slice of Life In Shadow and Light" by Michelle Robinson

Facebook

This image was taken with the app Procamera 7 and edited in Snapseed and VSCO cam. I don’t usually go into the city centre these days but I happened to be there with my daughter one Saturday morning. It’s Autumn now in Australia and states like South Australia (where I live) and Victoria have beautiful soft light in the Autumn and Winter mornings and afternoons. I am always looking out for things to photograph and I think when you take photos a lot, you immediately recognise a scene and know in your head how you are going to edit it with where the dark and light tones are in an image when you photograph it.

"Geometry of an unhurried conversation" by Natali Prosvetova

Website / Facebook / Flickr / Twitter

This is my sweetest personal model, who is my niece =) Her name is Nicky. She is 11. A lot of children try to play in adults, imitating them and pose too much. Actually, I do not really like this way.

However, when the child is already 11 years old, it is quite a difficult to control the balance and do not cross the line when it becomes vulgar and provocative. But I really like to work with her.

“From Another Era" by Glenda Hubbard

Flickr / EyeEm / IPA / Twenty20 / Instagram
I live on the beach – Tallow Beach which is the southern side of Byron Bay the most easterly point of Australia. I have lived here for over 26 years. It is a beautiful and inspiring place. I take photos with my iPhone as I walk along the water’s edge. The moods of the ocean and weather playing a huge part. I am quite nostalgic about the past and feelings of loss are recurrent themes in my images. I drift into my imagination to conjure those types of ideas and emotions that the sea can bring into play.
I became fascinated with moving my iPhone a few years ago. It took me a long time to get the double exposures I wasn’t to use in my work. Using iPhone set on HDR and lots of coaching encouragement from Hector @hnato_nf and Yara @ycrgorski I finally know what works for me. The tag #moveyouriphone is good to see this technique.
I have always loved superimposing images and blending textures. My favourite at the moment is Diana app but there are lots that I use. I sometimes just like to randomise and see what comes up from my extensive camera roll and the surprise elements can be worth keeping. Most aren’t keepers though, so having a good eye is a bonus and also knowing what you want to select.
Using social media has become second nature. Sometimes I share directly from my walks: Hipstamatic, cross process, or slow shutter apps.  Editing is my favourite thing to do when I’m at home with some free time. I don’t spend a lot of time on them general. They are made to be shared. Images are developed with blender apps and a variety of other apps too varied to mention. In this image, Scratchcam app features strongly. I love to scratches. I don’t like perfect. I am an app stacker and push and pull images to resolve them. It’s also about how I’m feeling at the time and that has a subtle influence on what I post. It is a social media and I had enjoyed connecting to artists who use photography in this way. ‘Reading’ images has been part of my work as a teacher of visual arts and photography. It’s a natural and comfortable progression. I have enjoyed the feedback I get from people in many parts of the world and enjoy seeing a window into their worlds.

"The true mystery of the world is visible, not invisible. - Wilde"  by Jeanette Vazquez

EyeEm / Instagram / Flickr

I titled this image with an Oscar Wilde quote: “The true mystery of the world is the visible, not the invisible.”
Image was processed with KitCam and Oggl because I wanted to add a bit of mystery to this character by using Uchitel.

"The boy that dreamed a dream" by Emanuel Faria

Flickr / EyeEm
This is a work made with images captured of my youngster and the research of textures.
I love to emphasize with textures. In this particular image the branches of a tree that create patterns, light and shadows that help the dramatization.

This was collaboration with Brandon Kidwell. He sent me a shot of his head and I turned him into a broken droid.

“April Fool” by Andrea Koerner

Website  / Instagram / Flickr

This image was created on April 1st and I had the title before I had the image created.  I usually come up with the title after editing the image.  I wanted to do a self-portrait that conveyed the look of a “fool” or clown. I took the image using Mpro, which allows me to really adjust the lighting and contrast.  Then I went into Artrage to add the “fool” elements and ended it with Pixlromatic, which really made the image “pop”.
