Today I’m thrilled to be publishing the first anniversary issue of the Mobiography magazine. The past year has been a fantastic ride. I have had the pleasure of speaking to and showcasing the work of so many talented mobile photographers and artists. Many of which have become good friends. The conversations I have had and the work I have seen has been an inspiration to me. I hope you have also been inspired too.
Since the magazine was first published back in April 2013, Mobiography has since released an iPhone and Android version. As far as I am aware this makes it the only publication in the mobile photography space available on all platforms, thus making it available to all mobile photographers, no matter what system you shoot on.

To be in with a chance of winning these detachable fish eye and wide angle/macro lenses simple go to the competition page within Issue 8 and submit your name and email address.

The Mobiography Magazine was originally launched in April last year but until now has only been available to iOS devices.

The magazine works in pretty much the same way on android as it does on the iPad or iPhone. It features the usual interviews, reviews, tips and tutorials. The android release is the next stage in the evolution of the magazine which is still currently a bi-monthly publication although I’m hoping to move towards going monthly as soon as possible.

I can’t believe it is now six months since the debut issue was first published. It has been truly amazing to have had the opportunity to connect with so many talented people in the mobile photography community during this time. I’d like to thank all those who have supported the magazine and website it means a lot to know that what I’m doing is making a difference to people.
The latest issue of the Mobiography magazine is out now and is set to be the best and most exciting so far. It features interviews with none other than Richard Koci Hernandez, one of the biggest names in the mobile photography community.

iPhone version release
Issue 3 also marks the release of an exciting new update to the app which now makes the magazine available to iPhone users as well as on the ipad. This has been one of the biggest requested features and a logical step in the magazine development.
Switching between formats
Due to the difference in screen size ratio between the iPhone and iPad the format of the iPhone version defaults to a plain text design to aid readability. While it does lack the design of the full layout version it makes readability on the iphone much easier.
However, if you prefer to view the magazine in all its glory offered by the ipad version then this can be accessed by tap and holding the screen until the navigation appears. In the top right corner you will see a small square icon. Pressing this will switch to the full layout version.

You will need to log into using the same iTunes Apple ID which was used to purchase the original subscription on the other device. This will sync purchases between devices.
