“I made this image in Shoreham Harbour using my iPhone 12 Pro and Snapseed to edit which I love using for making images on the move. All images on my Instagram @clarepegden.iphone are made in this way.  I love the freedom my handset gives me when I am out and about without my ‘real’ camera.

A recent project that I have been thinking about around Lines has made me realise that Lines are everywhere. They maybe straight, curved or circular; they are just everywhere you look and once you realise that you can’t unsee them!

I loved this view because of the shadows at the base which added a different dimension to the image of ‘just lines’ although, of course, they have created their own lines!

Whilst given the choice I would rather be using my camera to give me a slower more mindful workflow that is not always possible so very much appreciate the different experience of making and editing on the move using my phone.”
