AMPt selections photo by M. Catalina @caticolux Description/Title: loosing. finding. the long red thread. Process: I try to edit my images as little as possible, and above all, enhance which ever quality initially catches my attention. In this case the arcane, yet inert feeling of the scene was what I found attractive. Well, my whole stream could be museum images… This picture was taken with the phone native camera. Since the objects in the scene are so close, I blurred the image with the Magichour app, changing the saturation and contrast. Then went to Pixlromatic and used the alex filter. And went back to Magichour for some final adjustments in the light. And finally used the IG sierra filter, who is my best friend (how I survived before it existed, I surely don’t know). I am sorry I can not give numbers with this app. I often go back and forth between apps in an instinctual manner, and I have no set rule to go about it. Bio: I became curious about the IG world around Januray 2012. It has been mostly about looking at art and exploring the world through others’ eyes. I don’t think I have a peculiar style or objects I document, it could be anything… but, I like to believe I tend to wrap myself in scenes that have a dazed or foggy quality to them, as when one is falling asleep or waking up from a pleasant dream. I like to invite others to finish constructing what they are looking at. Words are included in the posts, words instilled by the imagery (or vice versa). But the best of it all, are the exchanges with wonderful people from around the globe, and all the beautiful things they inject into their little screens.

AMPt Selection by Mike Hill @frankensinatra DESCRIPTION: A friend of mine told me about this place that was full of giant driftwood and trees that were now part of the beach, so I took a little drive about four hours north, from Florida into Georgia. This location called Driftwood Beach on Jekyll Island was well worth the drive and the speeding ticket I got on the way. I’ve never seen anything like it, kinda surreal. The whole area looked like a scene from a Tim Burton movie, who is someone I draw a lot of inspiration from artistically. This was one of many I photographed that day.PROCESS: I took the photo with 645 Pro using a iphone 4S. I use the “Q” mode setting, no film effects. There was a piece of another tree to the right that was unavoidable for the shot I wanted, no matter what angle I tried. So I had to remove it using Touch Retouch. Once that’s done I went into Camera+ and used the clarity feature and added the black and white filter then saved it. Next to Photo Forge 2 and slightly lowered the brightness and upped the contrast just a bit. I opened up the Pop! Cam feature in Photo Forge 2 and tapped the black white 1900 film and then used vignette number 4, saved it. Finished off with Tilt Shift Gen where I desaturated it to about 30, lowered the brightness to 48 and raised the contrast to 52, saved and that was it! I use a app called Big Photo to upsize most of my photos when I’m done also.BIO: In the words of Tom Waits, “brawler, bawler & bastard” born and raised in New Orleans, Louisiana. But these days I dwell in Orlando, Florida with my girl and our two dogs living the quiet life of a peaceful warrior with a camera phone. I’m kinda new to the mobile photography game, I started around august 2011 after discovering Instagram in the app store. Everything I shoot and edit, I do 100% iphone from beginning to end. I’m a contributor to the website wearejuxt.com, that promotes mobile photography and the stories behind the scenes of it. Urban exploration and abandoned places are my normal thing, but no matter the subject I usually keep it dark, detailed, moody and gritty. I consider myself more of a photographer then a digital artist, I try and preserve as much of the original photo as possible, without heavy apping. Blurring the lines between edited and minimal processing seems a better fit for me. I’m seeing this art form as the next step in the evolution of photography, I’m curious to see where it goes, but I’m very proud of what it has become so far.

AMPt selections photo by Ebes Rasyid @abcdebes Description: This is the double exposure edit that i worked recently with my IG friends called #theworldinsideofus — I’ve always been interested in layering and double exposures. I love how they come out and their quality Process: Both of the shots was taken with Native Camera. I took the silhouette shot to exposing over the background. For the background i usually aim for landscape or textures. Edit: Squareready to crop. Artstudio edit to B/W (The silhouette) adjust the brightness/contrast to make a clean background (white). Save! Blender app to blend the silhouette with the background on the right. (Lighten - transparency 100%). Adjust the placement on the background. Save! Back with Artstudio (Load the image) to make a new layer for lines and dots Lastly, i used the Picfx (LightsFx) and Snapseed for the tones. This one started with vintage no.4, bringing down the Texture Strength to (-0). And Sharpen (+20). Then to Tune Image with saturation (+20), ambiance (+20), contrast (+5). Save and done Bio: Born and raised in Jakarta, Indonesia in the 80’s. I have a background in Graphic Design and Photography. Instagram lit a creative fire in me, it creates balance between both design and photography.

AMPt Selections photo by Nic Desjardins @NicDesjardins Description: You often find the most stunning shots when you least expect them! This was taken upon arriving to a hippy drum-circle party this passed weekend. Process: I shot a few versions of this, I eventually wound up reversing my camera to get as #lowdownground as possible. I used #snapseed to increase the structure and then tune color balance to bring out the warmer tones, along with increasing saturation, contrast and decreasing brightness by just a nudge. I brought it into #picfx, I added Classic: Lush. I’m crazy about PicFX lately, it has to be my favorite filter app! I then went into #vscocam and added filter number 5. That’s it! Bio: I’m a web developer, cook, yogi, cyclist, etc from Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. I got into mobile photography only recently. I always had some interest in photography, but the iPhone made it too accessible to deny myself of the great pleasure. Once I started there was no going back, I’ve always liked walking down back alleys to check out graffiti and such, but this made me appreciate the world of textures that they possess.

Bio: I started photography (really), in 2000, when I bought my first analog slr camera (a nikon). Many years later, I bought a canon 400D. And i decided to go back to the analog. I’ve got a lot of analog camera (Holga, nikon FM2n, Nikon FE2, Ricoh, kiev 60, etc…). And last year a friend of mine bought an Iphone. He showed me pictures he done with it, and I fell in love with it. No, I’m joking, but I was really impressed, so I decided to try it, and finally, I bought one. Now I always have it on me… Not just to call friends.

Description: I’ve always been pretty interested in skyscrapers and large cityscapes, but living in AK I don’t get to see them often. Sometimes on a rainy day, DTA (Downtown Anchorage) gives off a little bit of those big city vibes. Process: Start out in Snapseed, increase the brightness(65), the contrast(35), and the saturation(10). Then decrease the ambiance(65), and the white balance(2). Then I sharpen(10) and add some structure(5). Rotate left and save. Next app is PicFX. Apply the enhance filter at 50% strength. Save. Then back to Snapseed to change the orientation back to portrait. Save. Then I open it in VSCO Cam, add grain(1), vignette(1), and filter 4. Save. Lastly I open Square Ready for the crop. 🐨⛄ Bio: Hello everybody! For those of you who haven’t Instamet me yet, my name’s Jovell. I’m a 20.07 year old guy living in Anchorage, Alaska. When I first started using Instagram, almost a year ago, I was all about finding dope photos from talented artists, and I wanted nothing to do with the social aspect of it. I didn’t want to chat, follow, or like. Just look. About two months ago (after a brief break from Instagram), something snapped and I realized how great mobile photography is. I wanted to push myself further, but I didn’t want to wash out the beauty of my state with filters and crazy edits. If you’ve been with my feed for a while, you know I break this promise to myself every now and then, haha, but it’s okay. End of the day, IG is about sharing fun moments, arguing about Pokémon, and meeting new people. I’m having a ton of fun doing that, and the fact that people actually dig my photos is just a bonus.
