I Make Art With My iPhone And My Two Kids

ADVERTISEMENT

I got my first iPhone in 2010 as a birthday present from my husband, downloaded Instagram and a few editing apps, and haven’t put my phone down since. I have always made art in some form, mainly painting, but the iPhone has given me the creative freedom to do things I’ve never done before.

My kids, Gabe and Pippin, are usually the subjects of my images which make them very personal. I like to tell a story, reminiscent of fairy tales, with both light and darkness present. I share these images on my Instagram channel to over 500,000 people every day.

The iPhone and editing apps available are powerful creative tools. I love that I can shoot and edit on something that is always with me. Some of my favorite apps are Filterstorm, Snapseed, Mextures, and Juxtaposer.

Don’t wake me when I’m dreaming

Down the rabbit hole

You make me feel like I’m on top of the world

Find your light and shine!

A talk with the flowers

Me and the moon

Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?

The winds are changing, I can feel it in my bones

There’s a light that never goes out

Dreamer

The treehugger

Flower fields

Curiouser and curiouser!

I do think that these works are creative. It doesn't matter what kind of app or effect you use. The art is what you create and HOW you create. Don't listen those who says these aren't creative works. These pictures are definitely creative and beautiful pieces. Thank you

Doesn't matter how or what it was done with, it's the end result that matters. Nice work

Hi there. If I wanted to use an image for an advert for a local fete would this be ok?

Oh, my! These images utterly captivated me. I loved them all but especially, "the winds are changing, I can feel it in my bones", Dreamer, Me and the Moon, There's a light that never goes out, find your light and shine, and don't wake me when I'm dreaming. Inspirational and sublime. Thank you for sharing Ali.

beautiful. There must be a lot of preperation and thought put into each picture before it is actually shot.

Which app did you use to create the photos with the circles (for example a talk with the moon)? I love those! Beautiful work.

Not to be 2 critical (there are some nice pics), but I do wonder how much of this is actually creative and how much is using the apps presets filters and effects.

I loved the simple ones. The heavily edited ones with too much sparkle are so... Uhm... Exaggerated? But I loved the creativity. Less is more.

Kitschy and "with my iphone" phrase assures me that you're not a smart one.

Maybe I'll consult you next time before I do anything creative so you can help me out.
