New Smartphones Are Out, Now Turn Them Into Art With These Wallpapers

I think these minimalistic smartphone wallpapers are long overdue. Even on my iPhone, I rarely add my photos to the lock screen. Not because I don't like my own photography, but I suppose that while constantly on the hunt for the next spectacular image, I don't want to feel anchored to the old ones.

Now, before I present you with these gorgeous packs of travel photos for your phones, let me give you a quick background story.

From Community Support to Creative Exchange, Always Giving Something Back

During the height of the pandemic, I created a Ko‑fi page to drive fellow photographers to my photography community hub on Slack—a space where we could connect, share ideas, and support each other through challenging times. What began as a virtual meeting point evolved into a vibrant peer support network, proving that creativity and community could thrive even in isolation.
But when we all finally went back to ‘normal', I neglected the space while trying to rebuild my business. And Slack wasn't the the best platform anymore either, surpassed by Discord, to name one. So, everything slowly faded away.

A few days ago, I reopened my Ko-fi page (thanks to those who donated on the platform to show appreciation for my AI at Meta help) and decided to give it a new life. So, I reopened the Ko‑fi page with a new purpose: offering carefully curated digital products that celebrate the beauty of our world through Photography.
But can I forget you, my beloved and favourite reader? Of course not! So here are those first products, available now on these blog pages as well.

Introducing: Minimalist Wallpaper Collections

To launch this new chapter, I'm releasing two exclusive smartphone wallpaper packs featuring my original photography from around the globe—including my Nature Photographer of the Year award-winning image. 
Each collection contains 50 thoughtfully selected photographs, available in three distinct variations (Light, Dark, and Dominant Colour) to complement your phone's aesthetic.

What makes these collections unique?

  • 50 original photographs in each pack
  • Three colour variations per image (150 total options)
  • Minimalist design that won't make your lock screen a mess
  • Compatible with modern smartphone models
  • Includes award-winning photography

Starting at just £5, these collections are my way of offering something tangible in return for your kind support. Think of it as art meeting functionality—a small investment that transforms your daily digital experience while supporting independent photography.
And if you would like to purchase both Travel Packs, you can get them in a bundle at a discounted price. See all products below:

Why This Matters

Every purchase helps fuel future creative projects and enables me to continue producing content that celebrates the beauty of our world. Your support isn't just a transaction; it's an investment in authentic, independent photography and the community that surrounds it.

Ready to refresh your phone's look while supporting independent photography? Visit my Ko‑fi shop , or the store page here, to explore these collections and much more.

Please note that there are a couple of key differences between purchasing from this blog or my Ko-fi shop:

  • The bundle is cheaper on this blog. The higher the price, the more significant the Ko-fi fee. And while for these products the difference is trivial, it wouldn't be honest for me to charge you more here;
  • The price indicated on Ko-fi is a ‘minimum price'. This means that if you feel so inclined, you can always donate a little extra cash to show your extended appreciation and/or support. Every bit helps fuel new creative projects!

As always, your support means the world to me.

Thank you!
