Olloclip, Picsart to Host First Worldwide Mobile Photowalk

To celebrate National Photography Month, the companies will host mobile photo walks in Tokyo, Shanghai, Berlin, Mexico City, Los Angeles and San Francisco

SAN FRANCISCO and HUNTINGTON BEACH, Calif. -- Olloclip and PicsArt, makers of creativity tools for the mobile photographer, have announced they are hosting the first worldwide mobile photography walk. Walks will be held on May 1 starting in Tokyo and ending in San Francisco, each to celebrate National Photography Month and to demonstrate the vast potential of the mobile device to capture, edit and share beautiful photography.

Equipped with Olloclip's macro, ultra-wide and fisheye lenses, groups of mobile photogs will walk each city to capture images and edit and share with the world using PicsArt. The first 24 people to register in-person at each walk will get a free iPhone-compatible Olloclip Lens and matching Ollo Case (worth $100).

"At Olloclip, we built a brand and culture around the idea of respecting mobility while inspiring creative expression. But to do this correctly, you must value the creative process from start to finish. Which is why we are excited to announce a partnership with PicsArt, the editing app that boasts 250+ million installs and a global community made up of more than 65 million monthly active users," said Patrick O'Neill, founder of Olloclip. "Together, we will take the global mobile photography community by storm by hosting the first worldwide mobile photo walk and contests."

When used together, Olloclip and PicsArt together offer creativity tools that standard mobile phones can't match. Combining Olloclip's varied lens options and PicsArt's editing capabilities and global community results in a better photo experience for consumers.

"Taking and editing photos is always more fun when you can do it with other people," said Hovhannes Avoyan, founder and CEO of PicsArt. "And that's why PicsArt has all the photo editing tools you could ever wish for, but also a passionate and growing community of mobile creatives who you can collaborate, share and learn with. Olloclip only adds to the ability for everyone to be creative."

In addition to the photo walks and starting Monday, May 2 PicsArt is organizing three in-app contests: Macro Monday, Wide-angle Wednesday and Fisheye Friday. Challenging the PicsArt community and the world to submit their most creative macro, wide-angle and fisheye photos. The winners of each contest will receive a mobile photography prize pack including each of Olloclip's flagship products (worth $365).
