Patrice Elmi hasn’t touched her bulky 35 mm camera since last fall. The emerging visual artist from Los Angeles has discovered that all she needs is the diminutive gizmo she clips to her jeans and flips open to chat with friends.”When people see my images, they don’t believe that I took them with a cell phone,” she said. “The depth and clarity of the images are so phenomenal.”

The quality was good enough to persuade John Matkowsky, owner of Drkrm, a small gallery in Los Angeles showing Elmi’s work through Saturday, to do his first-ever show of digital prints.

Elmi uses the same core principles, such as composition and lighting, that she previously used with her Nikon film camera but applies them within the limitations of her new equipment.
