This week’s showcase of iPhone photography from the Mobiography Flickr Group features a selection of stunning portrait photography. From Jo Sullivan’s beautiful Hipstamatic styled female barber to Pascal Rotzetter’s  street photography styled portrait of an elderly lady resting. All the photos featured this week show how being able to capture an emotion or the personality of the subject really helps to make a strong connection between the viewer and subject. Doing this will help to make your portrait photographs so much more powerful.

Featured photographers this week include Raffamuffin Vibes, Jo Sullivan, Pascal Rotzetter, Ralf, Alejandro Cendan Rodriguez, xxfromneptune, William Reyes, BML Photo, Labarussiat Claude and Kirsten Fenton.

Anna

Anna‘ by Raffamuffin Vibes – “‘Anna’ is one of the series “Se telefonando” (the title of a song published in may 1966 by Mina, one of the greatest Italian singer). I shot the series at an event called “Beardinframe” organized by a brand of products for barber shops. I took the picture with an iPhone6 and edited it only using the native phone camera app using the Noir filter and the light control settings.”

Nesrine a un coup de barre‘ by Pascal Rotzetter – “I was walking on a country lane when I saw this old muslim lady meandering to a bench to get some rest.
Her black wrap with these little white flowers caught my attention. I didn’t have my Leica with me, so I drew out my iPhone (Hipstamatic) and tried to catch the expression of weariness, blended with deep strength, in her eyes. And of course, the handkerchief in her hands. I found, and still find, this women beautiful and full of humanity.”

Lee‘ by Alejandro Cendan Rodriguez – “The subway was full but I have always my iPhone in my hand ready to shoot. This gentleman was right in front of me, I did not need to move, I just looked for the best angle to shoot and I got this result. I use Hipstamatic with G2 lens and BlacKeysXF film and some small adjustments that Hipstamatic now allow us to make.”
