Hardcover, new

Brief Description:
As straightforward as it is encouraging, this concise guide to the art and
science of photography can help anyone take a good photo, regardless of the
camera they are using. Photography has never been so easy–or so hard.
While virtually anyone with a smartphone has the ability to take a photo,
most of us don’t know how to take a great one. Free of intimidating
technical jargon, and filled with suggestions, examples, and helpful
illustrations, this book offers everything the average person needs to
deliver a well-executed, interesting, and thoughtful image. Its concise
chapters explore the anatomy of digital, film, and smartphone cameras;
photo editing apps and lenses; and the basic principles of composition,
light, and exposures times. It offers pointers on different types of
images, such as portraits, landscapes, still lifes, and travel photography,
and a list of projects at the end of the book will inspire readers to put
what they learn into practice. Throughout it encourages readers to see the
world as a photo opportunity, and to develop a photographer’s eye in every
situation. Because the most important element in the picture-taking process
is not the sophistication of the camera, but the creative vision of the
person holding it.
