Geri: What is your name and where do you live?
Ivana: My name is Ivana J. Bucci and I’m a native born Italian, living in Switzerland.Geri: How did you get started with mobile photography?
Ivana: Three years ago my husband bought me an iPhone against my wishes. I was of the opinion, that I didn’t need such a sophisticated cellphone. Immediately afterwards I discovered the photo apps and from then on, everything took its course. Now I’m addicted!

Geri: Do you have a traditional photography or art background?

Geri: Who or what inspires your work?Ivana: I'm inspired by whatever I see: my surroundings, my city, the beauty of nature, my friends and my family in my daily life. But I also love to look at the work of the masters. Seeing an amazing photograph taken by someone I admire, inspires me.
Geri: Do you plan your shoots with a specific idea in mind?
Ivana: My photos are a mixture of planned and random shots, but very often the found images come out of a planned excursion for example when I try to catch foggy or misty conditions (see autumn pic)

Geri: You photograph many subjects - landscapes, people, animals - do you have a favorite?Ivana: I love to try everything. This is probably also the reason why my photography style is so inconsistent. But I also have some favorite subjects to shoot: I have a great love for nature (landscapes with misty mood) and urban photography – I know, two very contrasting themes. I can spend the entire day admiring all that is around me.
Geri: Do you use the native camera app on your phone or a specialized app like Hipstamatic or ProCamera?
Ivana: At the very beginning when I discovered the first photo apps, I was fascinated by the toy camera apps because of the retro effects. In the course of time I switched to 6x6, Hipstamatic, ProCamera, PureShot and for B&W, I use MPro.

Geri: What are your favorite editing apps?Ivana: There are so many: Snapseed, Filterstorm, Photo FX, Image Blender, PhotoWizard, BlurFX, FocalLab, Pic Grunger, Pixlr-o-matic, lo-mob, etc.
Geri: Please share a little bit about your editing process.
Ivana: My editing process is an intuitive one, I never now where the editing phase will lead me. I love playing and experimenting with apps. In this way I can give full scope to my inner child. I usually start a photo project in Snapseed to do basic edits, like cropping, rotating, color correction and exposure fixes. But a simple shot can also end in a collage (see “Robin’s Elephant”)

Geri: Have you ever exhibited your work? If not, any plans to do so?Ivana: I had the honor of having my work displayed (digital) at the LAMAF and I’m a proud runner-up (category landscapes) at the MPA 2013.
Geri: Is there anything else you'd like to add?
Ivana: I would like to thank you very much for giving me the opportunity to share some of my experiences on your blog.
