iPhography is a simple, cost effective, unobtrusive & spontaneous way to record your life. It’s really fun to see how people choose their approach to iPhography. Some people turn it into art by making great quality prints of interesting subjects while others have used iPhography as a way to get more candid street photography without a bulky obvious camera. Many use iPhographs as a simple visual note to remember something, like what colour & shape the sofa they wanted was.
Our aim is to unite iPhographers worldwide so WE WELCOME YOU TO USE THE TERM IPHOGRAPHY (as well as iPhographic, iPhographer & iPhograph) to describe an iPhone or iPod Photograph or Video. eg. You might have a website, magazine or blog titled “Small world” with the description as “a showcase of the worlds iPhography” or use iPhography to tag your iPhone/iPod photo's so other iPhographers can find them easily. To avoid infringing Apples copyright for iPhone or iPod, it’s shorter & easier to use the iPhography terms below instead of the long & awkward "iPhone & iPod Photography & Video" or anything with the words iPhone or iPod in the title. Also it helps refer to the creative movement rather than just the iPhone/iPod itself.
