andyroyston2012 fine art photography

This collection is all a part of Andy Royston’s internationally recognized FtLauderdaleSun real-time art project. “FtLauderdaleSun started out as a quiet walk along Fort Lauderdale beach. Now I can’t stop talking photos of the dawns here. I love the natural and ecological aspect of our shoreline. It’s amazing what the beach is like before the people arrive.

“All my images are created with an iPhone4. I like the iPhone because it has created a much more immediate and active form of photography. iPhone, like most smart phones has limited capabilities, but when used to its strengths can create some extraordinary art and photography.

“It is now an important part of my day to see just what a new dawn has in store. I love artists like Constable and Turner who could see the beauty in a cloudscape, so a walk along the beach feels like experiencing a great work of art every day. That’s when the dawn can take your breath away.

“The leitmotif throughout my work is the dramatic interplay between ocean and sky. A Florida dawning over cool and clear air, throws dramatic shapes and shadows. My aim is to share the immediacy and the freshness of our tropical ocean dawn”.

At its heart this is a combination of casual photography and social imaging that when brought together creates 4G art that crosses international boundaries and strikes a chord with people worldwide.

On iPhoneography

iPhoneography, or

mobile photography,

is visual art created,

edited and produced

entirely on iPhone. This

device is the common

denominator of a

growing global network

of photographers,

artists and individuals

who have embraced

the limited resolution

capabilities and have

found enormous

common ground

artistically.

iPhoneography is a

fully-fledged art form,

distinct from digital

photography in that

it is also visual social

movement. Artists

the world over have

put aside their bigger

cameras to enter this

amazing global mobile

photography scene.

It is photography, but

it is also a collective

mind set that’s changing

the way that we create

digitally in the 21st

century.

This collection of dawn iPhone

photographs - all a part of an emerging

digital artform known as iPhoneography -

were all taken and edited on Ft. Lauderdale

Beach using the iPhone3GS and iPhone4

by

Andy Royston.

iPhoneography (or mobile photography)

is a new and popular photographic

medium, that combines a camera, a set of

applications that process and edit these

images and a means to share in real time

to social media and website communities.

Artists and photographers have realized

that the shared limitations of a globally

available mobile device create a level

playing field for creativity. The resulting

outburst of visuals via Instagram,

Facebook, Twitter, Eye’em and a myriad

of website and photoblogs have together

created a new global renaissance in the

photographic arts.

Our Prints Museum-quality paper, authentic giclee inks which combination gives a longevity of over 100 years in normal lighting conditions.

They are hand numbered and signed by the artist.

Pigment printing processes have been utilized since the middle of the 19th century. The image stability of pigment printing is superior to that of any other method of printing, including traditional silver-halide or metal-based.

Digital inkjet printing has seen a surge in the use of the pigment ink as ink sets have been refined to be compatible with the latest in high-resolution inkjet technology.

A digital pigment print, sometimes referred to as a pigmented paper print, is a digital image rendered onto an uncoated, natural fiber substrate with pigment inks.

Custom sizing and framing quotes are available.
