Camera phones find role in artBy Jørgen Sundgot, Tuesday 23 September 2003
A photo art exhibition based entirely on photos taken by camera phones recently opened in Oslo, Norway.

On September 13, the Norwegian Theatre in Oslo held the opening of the what is the first exhibition of photo art featuring photos taken by means of camera phones in Norway - and possibly also the first of its kind throughout Europe. The photos shown at the exhibition have all been captured with a Nokia 7650 smartphone, and have later undergone processing through various imaging techniques.

The exhibition, arranged by a group of photographers known as Bromkameratene, had as its aim to determine whether it was at all possible to achieve quality shots using camera phones - and by quality, Bromkameratene does not refer to resolution, colour depths and other qualitative measures.

Per Egil Volledal, one of the photographers who contributed to the exhibition, commented "Bromkameratene as a group initiated this project to find out whether quality photos could be taken with such cameras. The conclusion we reached was that these cameras remind us that quality photos are not about electronics and post-processing, but rather about simple motives, being present and having fun with photos."

"Compared with professional camera equipment, such cameras do of course have their very distinct limitations. Nevertheless, it is the eye of the photographer which determines the opportunity for a good photo" said Rune Jensen, another photographer featured at the exhibition. "Camera phones also have their advantages, however. They can, for instance, operate silently - and of course there is the benefit of always having the camera available and ready for use."

The exhibition is comprised of approximately 80 pictures taken with a Nokia 7650 smartphone, and combines new technology with older photographic techniques.
