“All my images are created with an iPhone4. I like the iPhone because it has created a much more immediate and active form of photography. iPhone, like most smart phones has limited capabilities, but when used to its strengths can create some extraordinary art and photography.
artists and individuals who have embraced the limited resolution capabilities and have found enormous common ground
“It is now an important part of my day to see just what a new dawn has in store. I love artists like Constable and Turner who could see the beauty in a cloudscape, so a walk along the beach feels like experiencing a great work of art every day. That’s when the dawn can take your breath away.

This collection of dawn iPhone photographs - all a part of an emerging digital artform known as iPhoneography were all taken and edited on Ft. Lauderdale Beach using the iPhone3GS and iPhone4 by Andy Royston.
iPhoneography (or mobile photography) is a new and popular photographic medium, that combines a camera, a set of applications that process and edit these images and a means to share in real time to social media and website communities.
Artists and photographers have realized that the shared limitations of a globally available mobile device create a level
Pigment printing processes have been utilized since the middle of the 19th century. The image stability of pigment printing is superior to that of any other method of printing, including traditional silver-halide or metal-based. Digital inkjet printing has seen a surge in the use of the pigment ink as ink sets have been refined to be compatible with the latest in high-resolution inkjet technology. A digital pigment print, sometimes referred to as a pigmented paper print, is a digital image rendered onto an uncoated, natural fiber substrate with pigment inks. Custom sizing and framing quotes are available.
