"Vanessa Vox
Despite some signs of relief, the world has not really gotten a better place after the pandemic. A lot of new issues are intriguing the world. And we are all involved in a certain way. I have chosen for this New Year‘s Resolutions Post the photo of a beautiful old olive tree as a symbol of peace, wisdom, prosperity, vitality, and persistence. The picture is mirrored downwards as if the tree is growing into a deeper layer of life.
Well, my smartphone camera will remain my constant companion throughout everyday life also in 2023, helping me to stay in the flow of creativity. Working with photos and short films let me interact with the world and communicate with you, the onlookers. In this flow, I feel free and happy."

My photo 'Destruction' is part of the 'Apps uncovered' series of iphoneographycentral.com.
Selected by Diana Nicholette Jeon. Topic: 'What's Your Point of View?'
Backstory by Vanessa Vox:
'My photo called ‘Destruction’ is not meant to be a glorification of decay. The shards and fragments of the leaded window are rather witnesses of a stupid act of boredom, unmotivated aggression and disrespect. The small chapel was built around 1900 by Jean-Pierre Léopold Urdy, a country doctor...'

ARTICLE:
My two photos 'Open Window' and 'Old Books' are part of the 'Apps uncovered' series of iphoneographycentral.com. Selected by Trish Korous
Backstories by Vanessa Vox:
'Open Window: The special character of a ruin is that the interior space of a past time slowly transforms into an outer space. This little church in the south of France has lost its roof over the centuries. On the photo you only see a majestic tower and an abandoned wall with an open window. I stood in the shadow of this wall. A shadow which reminds me of the dark nave. The strongly illuminated tower and the window are witness to the rising sun behind the wall. When I took the pic my eyes were caught by the light. The B&W Hipstamatic combo (Scott S, Blackeys IR) finally emphasized the high contrast light scenario.'
'Old Books: Visible traces of time and decay. We look at dense rows of old books in a overfilled castle library. This is a monochrome snapshot from the hip. I tried to accentuate the ancient character as well as the fragile feel of old paper.
December the 17th, 2017
ARTICLE:
My photo 'Mantis (4)' is part of the 'Apps uncovered' series of iphoneographycentral.com.
Selected by Trish Korous
Backstory by Vanessa Vox: 'What could be more exciting as to sit in the grass face to face with an alien? The mantis has a stereoscopic vision and a small black dot on each eye which is moving. It feels like a close encounter.
I used an Olloclip macro lens on my iPhone. Then I spoke softly to my model, “You are a fascinating creature. Very photogenic!” This conversation lets me forget the challenge to get a sharp shot. The depth of field of a macro lens is extremely small and as everybody knows insects are moving very unpredictably. At the end, I was quite happy that my patience and the patience of the mantis succeeded. Whew… I’ve got my photo series.'

Two of my photos are part of the 'Apps uncovered' series of iphoneographycentral.com
Selected by Bob Weil.
Backstories by Vanessa Vox:
'Early Winter in the Drôme Provençale: I just walked out of the village shop as this cute snowman looked at me intensely, like saying: ‘Please hurry! Get out your iphone cam, I’m afraid I will melt soon looking at you!’. Wow! What a charming young fellow!' (Vanessa Vox)
'Ready For a Walk: Once upon a time there was a noble and friendly grandma, a big pink pig and a tiny black-white piglet… A colorful and imaginative scene rised up in my mind and the story began to weave. It was one of those grey and melancolic days at the end of november.
I’ve shot this pic on a flea market in the south of France. Little me was immediately caught by the expression of the figures as well as by the various structures of materials: the old untreated wood of the basket, the varnished wood of a homemade board game, the autumn leaves on the weathered cement steps.'
November the 5th, 2017
ARTICLE
My photo 'Shadows Alive (35)' is part of the 'Apps uncovered' series of iphoneographycentral.com.
Selected by Trish Korous
Backstory by Vanessa Vox: 'I live in a region where the sun dominates the scene very often. Sometimes there is too much brightness and I am longing for the night when the big shadow overwhelms the landscape.
But also during the day when the sun is behind my back, I keep an eye on all these moving shadows which appear here and there and follow me on old stone walls and streets. They seem to tell me stories about another life beyond the daily routine. They tell stories about things happening in another world.
I remember that I was always fascinated by early German expressionistic movies. They played with shadows to create a surreal vision somewhere between reality and human fears. But in my series 'Shadows alive' there is more than fear. There are also dancing bodies and stories of corresponding souls. And sometimes the shadows communicate with the real world and the real things. But what is real?'

Mobile Photography / Art New Year Resolutions 2017 From Around The World
theappwhisperer.com by Joanne Carter
'Taking photos and post processing them is my great passion. Yesterday, today, tomorrow— it makes no difference. But 2016 was mainly a ‘video year’ which included also being occupied with music apps. All three genre— photography, video and music— are really fascinating and open the doors to very different worlds.
Looking back at 2016 I’m very honoured that some of my experimental mobile movies were screened in different venues and festivals around the world. Another interesting and exciting experience was to be part of the beta tester team of LumaFusion, which is a new and absolutely state of the art video editing IOS-app coming soon.
My vision for 2017 is to stay engaged in my creative flow. Which means keeping an open mind. Being faithful to my values. Living a colourful life. Accepting the perpetual change. Expressing the variety of creativity. Taking care of the very moment and never neglecting the things I love' (written by Vanessa Vox)

The fifth edition MINA will present a public screening of smartphone, mobile and pocket films at RMIT University (19th Nov 2015) and on Fed TV at Federation Square (20th Nov 2015), Melbourne.
'Some mobile moving-image works are driven by aesthetic explorations using time-lapse, Kaleidoscopes or dioramas as inspiration. Messages are personal, intimate and immediate' Max Schlesen
'Another non-fiction approach is what I would describe as a type of ‘photographic videography’, with practitioners integrating the immediacy of a point-and-shoot device with the time-based potential of video.
(...) Experimental mobile filmmaking is another significant theme that is gravitating towards new media practices and technologies to explore new techniques and forms. There is a growing number of works that are beginning to move away from video editing and effects software on desktop computers to mobile apps. These works are being recorded and produced entirely on a smartphone' Seth Keen

"Ces praticiens détournent le geste initial, le selfie, via des cadrages atypiques, des mises en scène élaborées qui peuvent par exemple rompre avec l’instantanéité supposée du selfie, poursuit Sébastien Appiotti. La retouche avec les applications est un second temps de la création qui permet des usages créatifs et inventifs de l’image, faisant de ces autoportraits des œuvres à part entière, et posant la question d’une esthétique propre à ces œuvres mobiles."

'Top five Photo Apps - Photo App Lounge by Vanessa Vox'
in theappwhisperer by Joanne Carter
with my photo 'Feeling one'
'A symbiotic feeling with nature. A close encounter of three creatures: Blackbird, rose and human being. A reminder to take care of our beautiful world. A witness of an ancient wisdom. We all belong together. We are all ONE which is symbolized by the pair of eyes'
(Vanessa Vox)

Donna Donato says: "Have to mention that when I read the titles of Vanessa Vox's pieces I tend to think of journal entries. I always look forward to viewing the newest entry. Her latest work feels like a b/w, animated sketch that sometimes slides into the twilight zone. I constantly had the sensation of walking backwards in an alternate reality while watching someone cavort in front of me". http://theappwhisperer.com/2014/03/15

'Painterly Mobile Artist
Vanessa Vox'
in 'Art of Mob'
by Geri Centonze
'Vanessa's painterly style
brings to mind the works of Rembrandt,
El Greco or Anthony van Dyck
with her use of dark and golden tones
and heavy textures'

"Miss Skywalker"
"Apps Uncovered"
in iphoneographycentral,
by Bob Weil
'The first image by Vanessa Vox (Miss Skywalker)
artfully conveys with a self-portrait
a sense of strength and self-confidence.
For me, this image suggests that there’s a natural tension
between reality and dream (aspiration?)
and that this is a positive and necessary aspect of life'
