Photographer/video producer Tony Cece finds the time to create his own brand of iPhone art, and share it with the rest of the world via photo-sharing groups.

“CameraBag” is my “go to” app, here set to Holga filter, giving the photo a square crop to isolate the flower and a vignette to help it stand out from the surrounding leaves.

Just Married

Unable to get in closer to my friends as they took their first dance, I imagined a different way to create an interesting shot. Most of my black-and-white images are shot using different “Hipstamatic” film packs; this one is BlacKeys SuperGrain. I then opened it in “Instagram” to add a tilt-shift effect, tint the image, and share it to my social media outlets.

Medan Belize, Haiti

Twelve photos were taken and assembled using “AutoStitch” to make this panorama of Lake Azuei. I added a gradient to bring color to the sky in “Photo fx” and made basic adjustments to the contrast in “Photogene” to make the colors pop.

NYC Skyline

A thirteen-photo “AutoStitch” of a nearly colorless NYC skyline was pulled into “Photo fx” to add color to the scene and give the appearance of sunrise.

This was taken in Haiti on a trip where I was using “Hipstamatic” as my main iPhone camera. This used the Blanko film and John S lens.

Industrial Weeds

After struggling with my digital SLR to create an image I liked at this location, I pulled out my iPhone to create this image. It was processed with “Pic Grunger” to blend a texture over the image and “Photogene” to brighten and add contrast.

Dead Sea Calcification on Branches

Because of the starkness of this image and the water blending into the horizon, I decided to make the image black and white in “Photogene” and tinted it blue using the white balance to cool the image. “Camera+” was used to added clarity to the image and make the branches stand out.

Dino vs. The Tiger

“Camera+” was used to add clarity and sharpness to stylize this image of my son looking at a tiger. Because the glass cannot be seen in this image, it appears as though my son is in the cage with the tiger. “Vignetting Camera” was used to darken the edges and draw attention to the subjects staring at each other.
