Modern Technology: Reviewing "The iPhone Photography Book"

The iPhone is one of the most used cameras in the world, mainly due to the convenience factor.
It’s on us almost all the time; in purses, pockets, jackets, hands.
With the current crop of iPhone’s, the camera is more powerful than ever, resulting in the ability to take stellar looking shots…with a bit of training.

With a myriad of resources available, how do you know which one to invest your time in to hone your iPhone photography skills?

Enter Scott Kelby; author of the best-selling book on digital photography ever. Ever. Not a typo.
(The book is called The Digital Photography Book.)

With an impressive resume of accomplishments, accolades and amazing photography skills, his current book, “The iPhone Photography Book” is split into 12 chapters.
They’re easy to read, broken down simply yet succinctly so the reader can easily transfer their knowledge to execution and while the book clocks in at 250 pages, it’s not intimidating at all.

From using the flash to composition, focus points, timing, subject matter (there’s a ton of stuff on that) to light, reflections, editing and so much more, this resource, I imagine, will be read multiple times by the reader.

The wording isn’t muddled with tech-heavy jargon; it’s plain English to eliminate the intimidation factor.

Smarty, the intro page that launches each chapter was created by him to give you a short mental break.

What I like the most is that each page is dedicated to a specific point; there’s no “turn to the next page” nonsense here. One headline, one image, one clearly written explanation.

There’s a wealth of information here and whether you’re looking to tweak your existing knowledge or fill your brain with how to amplify your phone photography talents, this book has you covered.
