Portrait of a Woman, by Susan Detroy
You knew it had to happen sooner or later, but “An Eye for an i: iPhoneography,” a new exhibit at Dot Dotson’s, may be the first photography exhibit locally that consists exclusively of pictures taken with iPhones of various vintages.
Five photographers have contributed their work to the show, with the aim of showing the vast variety of art that can be created with what is nominally a telephone but which, with apps and a keen eye, can contribute much more in terms of high-quality visual images.
Here’s who’s participating, and an example of each artist’s iPhone work:
Susan Detroy has 40 years of experience in photography, gallery management and art curation and owns her own

John Watson, “Cityscape with Moonrise”
John Watson does his photo shooting at night, using his iPhone 7+ to get images that need wider apertures and slower shutter speeds.
