In this latest issue of Mobiography magazine, we take a look at the theme of travel. Travel is something we all love, and for photographers it offers the chance to visit new and exciting locations, meet new people and to get inspired. As the old saying goes, “travel broadens the mind.”

Mojocon is short for the Mobile Journalism Conference. It is the brainchild of Glen Mulcahy, the head of innovations at RTE, Ireland’s state broadcaster. The event brings together journalists and film makers from all over the world to talk about and discuss the latest trends and topics in relation to mobile journalism, mobile film making and mobile photography.
This year’s event was the second Mojocon and I was honoured to have been one of the speakers at last years’ conference. It was a truly inspiring event where I met a lot of wonderfully interesting people, many of whom have since become good friends. For this reason I was keen to come back to Mojocon 2.
The Magnificent Aviva Stadium, Dublin
This year, Mojocon was held at the Aviva Stadium, a magnificent football and rugby venue in the heart of Dublin. The venue was very impressive and played host to a main room, a break off Havelock suite which hosted several smaller sessions, a fantastic exhibitor’s hall which offered something for everyone from VR, to drones, app developers, accessories such as Olloclip lenses, mics and Manfotto tripods.
Even though the event is more geared towards journalists and reporters the event held something of interest for everyone. This year was no exception.

The Friday sessions kicked off with an introduction by founder Glen Mulcahy who promptly tripped up whilst running onto the stage, a by-product of the energy and enthusiasm he exudes. Showing his true professionalism, he laughed it off and then regaled us with a story of singer Meatloaf who did exactly the same thing… by with a lot more showbiz style. I dare say Glen will not live it down for a while.
The first session started off by talking about mobile film-making and reporting, how people are using the latest advancements in mobile technology and asked the question, is Mojo breaking into the mainstream? The session illustrated just how smartphone technology is changing the way we work and the benefits that mobile technology has in difficult and chaotic situations.
From this initial session, activity broke off into other areas where talks about topics such as live streaming, social media, app tool-kits and workflows, drone cinematography and mobile photography took place. For those mobile photographers amongst us it was the mobile photography session that was of particular interest.
Meeting the Mobile Photographers Session
Last year’s event saw a line up which included myself, Brendan O Se, Nicki Fitz-Gerald, Dan Berman, Michael Kistler, Dan Rubin and Jack Hollingsworth, each talking about our own area of expertise in mobile photography. This year saw Dan Rubin, one of Instagram’s first beta testers, invited back to host the mobile photography session.
The photography session last year raised a few questions and topics for discussion which, due to time constraints, we never really had time to explore properly. For this reason, Dan’s approach this year was to have less speakers and adopt more of a group discussion type format in order to give more time to explore these issues.

The session started off with Seán showcasing a selection of his photography taken along Ireland’s rugged coastline. He explained the stories behind the images and how they were inspired by Irish folklore, and how he went about capturing these locations and the characters that live there.
The latest and third anniversary issue of the Mobiography Magazine has just been release onto the Apple app store and Google Play. The last three years have flown by and through it I have had the honour of speaking to many talented mobile photographers and app developers, as well as making many new friends along the way.
What’s inside issue 24?
In this anniversary issue, I talk to two of my favourite mobile photographers of the moment, Chris Harland and Graeme Roy. Chris is a rising landscape photographer who beautifully captures the rugged, mountainous regions of the UK, many of which I, myself, am familiar with. Meanwhile, Graeme Roy, a street photographer from Toronto, tells us about his approach to the photos he takes and about his views on the impact of mobile photography in press photography.
On the tech front, we take a look at the new Samsung Galaxy S7 and find out why it is more than just a camera and see how it stacks up against something like the iPhone 6S.
We also talk to Lightricks, the developers of two popular apps, Facetune and Enlight, and take a deep dive into how this small start-up company have managed to create two leading apps. We take a close look at Enlight to see how you can use this powerful photo editing app to create a fantastic double exposure image.
In our beginners guide section we take a look at ways you can photograph nature at its best. We also look at the latest trends on Instagram and Nicki Fitz-Gerald of iPhoneographyCentral shows us some inspiring ideas for shooting and editing when the weather conditions are bad.
Finally, we take a look at the winners of the New Era Museum Impossible Humans – Unexpected Happenings Awards.
