My Visual Journal

The iPhoneography of Joseph Cortese

I'm an iPhoneographist [noun. someone who takes pictures with an iPhone :-]. But I'm also journaling, using the images I capture to move me towards reflections that edify myself and others. Be inspired to do the same. These moments come unannounced so you have to be ready at all times. That's why the iPhone is the camera of choice. It's always in my pocket.

I'm also learning the importance of composition, exposure, light, and other photographic disciplines. The iPhone only comes with one button. That limitation is a good thing. It forces to you to stick to photography 101 and not be distracted by unlimited parameters.

All of the images featured on this Web site were created using Apple's iPhone 3Gs. Most of the images enter post processing to enhance various aspects or overcome certain camera limitations, then sent directly from the iPhone via e-mail to the Web site.

Enjoy.

Aroma of Studio City

In this cafe, motion picture deals are made, scripts exchanged and culture is being shaped. Emma Thompson just walked by as I was shooting. I saw Denzel here the last time I visited. And countless other industry people make this a regular hang. Here is Melissa, Pastor Sam & Janel and Belinda having breakfast before returning to NYC.
