iPhone Photographer of the Month<\/h3>\n

Copenhagen based Karen Vikke<\/strong> is this month’s iPhone Photographer of the Month.<\/p>\n

You can find her on instagram here\u00a0@VikkeView<\/a><\/em><\/p>\n

By day she’s a social worker, working with children with special needs. And in her spare time she explores Copenhagen, using her iPhone to capture the unique character of the city and its residents.<\/p>\n

We sat down with her to find out more about her and what inspires her photography.<\/p>\n

What’s your device of choice?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I take pictures with an iPhone 6 Plus. I love this phone\u00a0because of the camera quality and the size of the screen – plus, it makes it easier for me when I want to edit my pictures.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Have you always been an iPhone photographer or did you start out through a more traditional route?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I actually only started to get into photography in February 2014, but I have always just used\u00a0my iPhone, even though I bought a camera!<\/em><\/p>\n

I like that there’s no limitations with\u00a0mobile photography. The whole process, from taking the picture to editing and publishing, happens on my iPhone. <\/em><\/p>\n

I also really like that I always have my iPhone with me and can be ready to shoot in an instant.<\/em><\/p>\n

What’s your favourite subject to photograph?<\/strong><\/p>\n

My favorite subjects to photograph are architecture, facades, bikes and people.<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you plan your photos or are they a response to everyday life?<\/strong><\/p>\n

A lot of my shots are\u00a0unplanned, taken when I’m just walking or biking around Copenhagen. <\/em><\/p>\n

However I have also started to plan photos using people I know as my subjects! It is great, because you can be really creative with the sort of scene you create.\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

Do you use any apps?<\/strong><\/p>\n

I use a few apps to help edit my pictures. SKRWT is great to help straighten up perspective problems. I also use Snapseed a lot and sometimes touch retouch.<\/em><\/p>\n

What tips do you have for any budding iPhone photographers?<\/strong><\/p>\n

If you are new to mobile photography my advice is just to shoot everything you find interesting. Teach\u00a0your eye to see what works in a photo. Learn and find inspiration from others.<\/em><\/p>\n
