Heidi loves her mobile phone photography as a hobby. When she first became interested in photography, she used a small, compact camera to photograph all types of subjects.
Patterns, shapes, shadows and quirky architecture on the street, fascinate her, but her favourite is street photography.
She often became annoyed when she saw great picture opportunities but didn’t have her camera with her. But after getting her first mobile phone it became her camera of choice: “Because I always had it with me and getting shots of what I saw on the streets of towns and cities was quick and easy,” she said.
“I can be discreet, and no one notices a camera phone whereas a larger camera is way too conspicuous”.
Her favourite subjects are candid pictures of people and objects in public spaces, often in gritty or grungy locations that she sometimes enhances using monochrome (black and white).
“It’s the chance encounters, where subjects are not posed, which makes the mobile camera phone the perfect tool”, Heidi said.
She also likes to challenge the rules of photography. Sometimes shots don’t work out, but Heidi said she doesn’t mind, because it pushes the limits of her camera phone.
