These self-portrait images were recorded on an Apple iPhone 4 (5 Megapixel) using the software application called Hipstamatic. It uses the iPhone's camera to allow the user to shoot square photographs, to which it applies a number of software filters in order to make the images look as though they were taken with an antique analog camera. The user can choose among a number of effects which are presented in the application as "lenses", "films" and "flashes". Hipstamatic is part of a "retro" trend in photography, which has seen a rise in the popularity of cheap and technically obsolete analog cameras (such as Lomography and Polaroid instant cameras), as well as software filters and smart phone software that emulate such cameras. Thanks for visiting and please come back often!
