Art with an iPhone Second Edition Available for Preorder!

It’s coming! The second edition of Art with an iPhone is now available for preorder on Amazon. Pop right over here to Amazon and preorder your copy today. The publication date is December 15, 2017 so it will be shipping in time for Christmas. Yay!

I’m so excited to get this second edition out in the world. Not only is it updated for app and technology changes, it includes lots of new art plus new techniques as well. My art has evolved since the first edition, so the book needed to evolve too. Even if you have the original book, there will be new things in the second edition for you.

Thanks in advance for your preorders! They really help the success of the book.

The Latest Review

“This books passes muster as a great instructional tool for the novice mobile artist – A Classic”, Joanne Carter, 2016

Pretty darn cool quote, huh?

My book, Art with an iPhone: A Photographer’s Guide to Altered Realities, was very nicely reviewed on The App Whisperer this week. The App Whisperer is the “world’s most popular mobile photography and art website” so this is a big deal! So exciting.

Pop on over and read it when you get a chance.

My Book in Print!

Art with an iPhone Book Kat Sloma iPhone Photography

Yes. That’s my book. In print. Need I say more?

All that work, and all that waiting… It is a truly amazing feeling to finally have it in my hands and to know that it will be in readers hands shortly too. I hope it helps a few more people find as much creativity and joy with this fantastic device and medium as I’ve found.

You can have it in your hands in the next week, too. If you order on Amazon, the book will ship on January 12. That’s next Tuesday.

If you prefer an eBook, you can get it TODAY on Amazon or iBooks. Maybe other places too, take a look in your favorite eBook store.

If you prefer to shop local, you can ask your favorite bookstore to order it.

And when you get it… let me know what you think. Share a picture of yourself with it on social media and tag me. Drop me a note. Leave a review. For all that it seems like the end of a big journey, it’s really just the beginning of the next phase.

Come on everyone, let’s make some art with our iPhones!

iPhone Book is one step closer! (+ app review)

I heard from my editor yesterday… I should be seeing the galley proofs of my iPhone photography book in a couple of weeks. Yay!! I cannot wait to see those proofs, and I’ll be sure to give you a sneak peek when I do. It’s such a long process, I almost forgot I wrote a book over the last few months. (Well, not really, but I tried not to worry and obsess about it too much.)

With this reminder that a real book is in the works, don’t forget you can preorder it right now on Amazon, and it will show up in your mailbox in January when it ships. Preorders are hugely important to its success, so I appreciate each and every one! Thank you!

On another note, today’s image is edited with the Formulas app, which is from the same creators as Stackables, one of my favorite apps. The Formulas app is a simpler version, with a list of preset formulas you can apply which include layers from the Stackables app.

The good is that it is very simple to use: Select a formula, adjust the intensity (0 to 100), and then either save or apply another formula on top. You can also add a frame in a similar tone. Super easy. Today’s image was edited with the Glazed formula at 100% followed by the Orange Zest formula, at a lower intensity.

The bad is that you have no other adjustability. You can’t rotate the formula or change blend modes, either for a single formula or more than one applied.  Super frustrating, if you like a little control.

The formulas are very much monochromatic and highly textured, so if that’s your style this is a great app to add to your arsenal.

If you like a little bit of flexibility and control, as I do, then it’s probably not a great app for you. I’ll stick with Stackables, where I can experiment and adjust the layers to my heart’s content. 

That’s the beauty of mobile photography, there is something for everyone. You just have to find the right apps!

My iPhone Photography Book is Available for Preorder!

No matter how far you are going on any journey, there are points where you have to pause and take in the view. This is definitely one of them for me: My book, Art with an iPhone: A Photographer’s Guide to Creating Altered Realities, is now available for preorder on Amazon!

Is that not the coolest thing? Let’s just pause and absorb that a little bit. I wrote a book. A book that is on Amazon.

I know I’ve talked about it for a good long while. I know I spent hours developing the material, organizing it, and sitting at the computer writing it. I know that I sent the manuscript off to meet the deadline several months ago… Even so, this makes it all the more real!

There is still a lot of work to do. There is editing and layout and distribution and marketing. The release date is not until January 2016. It seems so far away, but when I look at it objectively, it’s less time to go than it’s been since I started this whole adventure. And at the end there will be a real, printed book filled with my art and words I can hold in my hands. That you can hold in your hands.

Awesome!

And now, here’s where you come in… Run on over to Amazon and preorder it now, pretty please! That will help its search rankings which will help more people find it which will help me spread the love for this wonderful art form.

We all have the capability of creating art. I want to show you how with the phone in your pocket.
