About Deborah Loeb Bohren

Based in Stamford, Connecticut, Deborah Loeb Bohren is a travel-inspired fine art and

editorial photographer focusing on the creation of intimate and grand portraits of the

natural and man-made environments around the globe. She won her first photography

contest at P.S. 27 in Yonkers, NY when she was in the sixth grade and doesn’t

remember when photography wasn’t a part of her life.

After a successful career in strategic communications, public relations and advertising,

Bohren left the corporate world to pursue her passion of photography full-time in 2012.

Her work is now part of private/individual and corporate collections across the country,

including Memorial Sloan Kettering Cancer Center, Westchester Medical Center, and

Burke Rehabilitation Hospital, and in exhibitions at the Garrison Art Center in Garrison,

NY; The Black Box Gallery in Portland, OR; the Hammond Museum in North Salem, NY;

the Praxis Gallery in Minneapolis, MN; the Sohn Gallery in Lenox, MA, and the A Smith

Gallery in Johnson City, TX, among others. She is also a regular contributor to Everett

Potter’s Travel Report.

Deborah Loeb Bohren

Using the iPhone to create images using intentional camera movement (ICM) and multiple exposure (ME) techniques is possible thanks to specialized apps such as Slow Shutter for the iPhone and FV-5 for android phones. In this session Deb will walk you through the in’s and out’s of several apps to show you how to leverage their capabilities and unleash your inner photo expressionist. The presentation will focus on the Slow Shutter and AvgCamPro apps which allow you to create “in camera” ICM and multiple exposure photos, as well as Photosplit which allows you to create multiple exposures through the use of layers and blend modes. BEWARE: The apps are addicting!
