The best camera is the one with you.<\/h3>\n

I’ve always been an advocate for this saying. I know that as a professional photographer, I have to live up to certain expectations of the kind of gear I carry. And though I do crave the quality and functions my DSLR gives me, sometimes it really doesn’t beat my light and always-present phone camera. It’s a different kind of challenge to create beautiful photos with the limitations of a mobile device, but I love that with Instagram I can share relatively quickly, when sometimes I don’t even have my laptop on hand.<\/p>\n

Phone photography, or “Phoneography” as some call it, is getting to be quite an art in itself! These days my process involves importing my newly selected images on VSCO Cam<\/a>, and using a variety of their amazing presets and manual controls before sharing on Instagram and other social media.<\/p>\n

I also occasionally come across photos I really don’t want to crop to Instagram’s standard square dimensions. For my Android phone, I find the simple #Square<\/a> app to be perfect for adding a bit of blank space before uploading to Instagram. What’s your process for mobile photos?<\/p>\n

Here’s a small selection of photos from my Instagram feed<\/a> that features photos I’ve taken on my trips near and far, with my phone camera or a small Lomography plastic film camera.<\/p>\n
