We’re proud to report that Vincent Laforet launched his own iApp yesterday. “Visuals,” as it’s called, is a triple-”i” threat, operating on the iPad, iPhone, and iTouch and can be downloaded for free for the time being.
“The app contains some of my favorite images from my day as a staff photographer at the New York Times,” writes Vincent at his blog, “and each image is accompanied by a video of me sharing the story behind the images, as well as many technical challenges that I faced and how I overcame them.”
He goes on to note that he created the app “to establish a direct connection with the photography audience and fans of my photography. I believe that as we look forward, photographers are going to be sustaining their careers and body of work by connecting directly with their audiences and fans of their work – as opposed to the more traditional delivery platforms such as publications. In other words, I am not sure that the old world way of distributing your images through large publications will be as effective as trying to develop a relationship with your audience directly. My goal is for his app to be a step in that direction, and perhaps even to lay the groundwork for others to do the same.”
Right on, Vincent. To read more, click here.
