Welcome to 1000 Words Showcase for Windows Phone via the Windows Phone Experience Flickr group.
This group has many great artists and photographers and along with many mobile photography communities is rich in story.
We Are Juxt has asked a these great photographers to help curate this showcase and are very happy that they agreed. Please put your hands together for Aman, Sony, and Jean Brice. Their bios and contacts are below.
We hope to showcase the great diversity and beauty of the work shown to continue to inspire other mobile (connected) photographers/ artists within our community. 1000 Words is titled under the premise that “a photograph says a 1000 words.” We Are Juxt believes that mobile photographers/ artists tell stories through the photographs/ images and art that represents their families, their environment, themselves. This is important because of the level of communication that is portrayed in imaging today. We look forward to you and your art. We thank you for your contribution to the mobile photography/ arts community.
If you are a Windows Phone photographer please feel free to contribute to the Flickr group.

The Peacemaker by Dr Pajchiwo aka Wojtek
Nokia Lumia 800 (on Windows Phone 7.8)
I took the photo while my daughter’s class was playing on a mini ramp. I set “a capture in motion” on my Lumia 800 and shot a series of pictures during the kids were running and jumping. The one looks exactly how I planned: expressive and dynamic character in the foreground. For post-processing I used mainly the great app Fantasia Painter (selected blur and “white point fix” adjust).

Pão de açúcar – B&W by Bruno da Cruz de Moura
Nokia Lumia 1520
I took this photo on the first day of work at my new address corporative, my days got better after I work facing this wonder. As like other photographs in black and white, I decided to record the moment and also eternalize it that way. Make corrections in Lightroom and then do the black and white effect in Photomatix.

Blue Hour by Daniel Cheong
Nokia Lumia 1020 + camera grip + tripod (Gorillapod).
ISO 100, focus to infinity.
Used the auto EV bracketing function of the 1020, 5 exposures -2ev to +2ev by 1ev step.
Then I manually combined the 5 exposures in Photoshop using layer masks.
This is one of my favorite spots in Dubai Marina, I have shot this view with my D300, then my D800. So I really wanted to shoot it also with my Lumia 1020.

A Rough Soi 1 by Juha Lappalainen
Nokia Lumia 720
Bangkok is full of interesting looking rough streets. I was walking around one day and noticed this particular soi (side street) and a man happened to be walking on it. I took out my phone and got this photo. I converted it into black and white and did some basic adjustments (contrast etc.) in Photoshop.
From a darkness to the darkness by Mateusz Jaszak
Nokia Lumia 520
This picture was captured in Toruń (german Thorn), central Poland. It was last Saturday before an examination session-very difficult time for every student. I was sick of it all, so I’ve broken away from learning. Photographing is meditation for me. It is an escape from negative karma that destroys everything which I aspire. I thought about it and I wanted to show on a picture. I had stood 10 minutes before I took good photo. Why a human being and a church is on the pic? The church- a house of God, is an escape from negative karma for many people. Dark parts of the picture mean negative karma, bright part- positive karma.
I processed this picture in Snapseed. I’ve changed contrast, ambiance and then I added a grunge filter.

Stay In Your Lane by Corvida Raven
Nokia Lumia 1020
As a Miami native (born and raised), winters in New York City are bittersweet. It’s ridiculously cold (even the sidewalks are frozen), but the beauty of the city continues to flow like hot tea and warm honey.
The contrast between the gritty NYC building on the left and winter wonderland on the right grabbed my attention. The railroad and people in the middle are what made me pull the trigger. Why? Because this contrast is an interesting analogy of how I see NYC: buildings and long blocks interrupted with glimpses of nature and a transportation system that does one hell of a job of connecting people moving through the city to everything in and around it.
This was shot with my Nokia Lumia 1020 and edited with VSCOCam on my Moto X using the k2 preset. I increased the contrast a little bit to bring out a more gritty and almost harsh feeling that accompanies NY winters.

The Suburb OF Saigon by Trần Nam Phong
Nokia Lumia 1020
This is random photo taken while I am going for a picnic with my friends. This place is not very far from city center. At the time making sense of the connection of wild and modern beauty which occurred when I recognized the bushes and the behind city center’s night scenes, I recorded that moment. I used 1020 to capture, used the Nokia Camera app, chose bracketing, chose 5 photos to take from -3EV to +3 EV, then mix them together by photoshops and customize them in order to suite my hobbies.

Born in Ethiopia, escaped from a civil war as a child in the end ‘70. Grew up in Germany… loved the Nokia N95 8GB with its fantastic Image quality back then, but my real mobile photography obsession began late december 2012, when i bought the Lumia 920. I shoot to freeze the moment, …addicted in details. There’s no real concept behind my photos… i see the moment and love the fact to have my weapon in my pocket to catch that moment…. Any where… any time.

By profession I am a Software Architect working in Banglore, India. I am very passionate about photography. I started clicking from 2007 when I bought my Nikon DSLR camera. I never explored mobile photography until I bought the Nokia Lumia 920, it got an awesome camera. I realize the power of mobile photography and I kept my DSLR aside and started shooting in my Lumia 920. I love street photography and majority of my photos are from the streets of Bangalore.
