How many times throughout your day do you take pictures with your smartphone camera and let them sit on your phone, unshared, unrecognized or worse yet, undervalued?

Ant Pruitt is the host of Hands On Photography, part of the TWIT TV network of podcasts and I am pleased to have him as a guest for episode 133 of the SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking.

We have a fun and in-depth discussion about photography and smartphone photography.

Some topics we discussed:
* The smartphone photography myth
* Printing smartphone photos to canvas
* Photography basics for all photographers
* Pixels and resolution
* Storytelling with photographs

Ant is a professional photographer, a creator, podcaster and an artist. He is one of the people in our mobile filmmaking community of creatives and professionals who inspired me to introduce a smartphone photo contest in the International Mobile Film Festival’s 12th edition coming April 28–30, 2023 to San Diego, California.

Ant has accepted the invitation to sit in two judging panels this year: The Frame A Story Photo Contest (One story in one frame) Shot with a smartphone camera.

Photos must be taken between January 1, 2022 and the regular deadline to submit them is November 21, 2022.

Our mutual friend Scott Bourne has also accepted our invitation to sit in the smartphone photo contest. We’ll be announcing more judges as we get closer to the deadline. We are very pleased and honored to include them in this judging panel and having your photos seen by these professional photographers is quite a treat for the mobile creative community.

SBP Podcast Mobile Filmmaking: The Voice of Mobile Film™ is for everyone who ever wanted to or is curious about making movies and videos using smartphones.
