“Mobile photography is another step into the future and an evolution we should not and cannot ignore. Aside from the mass image production nowadays, the mobile phone camera helped to democratize the access to photography. Thus, photography has transformed into a cultural possession that no longer gathers dust in family photo albums. One thing I experienced while working on the magazine is that even if boundaries between the amateur and the professional become blurred and mobile photography continues to be discredited for its supposed low quality, technical specifications are not what determine great photography. The important thing is and will always be the message an image mediates to the viewer, regardless of its origin or the device being used.”
