Photography Books

Hot photo apps come and go, but the practice of shooting and sharing is universal and is now a fundamental part of the way that we communicate with each other. Photos aren't printed on paper anymore - they are displayed on screens; and everywhere they are shown, the viewer is invited to like or share. Social Photography will show you how to create stunning photos.

This kids guide is perfect for those of us who just need the basics. It breaks down all the important aspects of good photos in an understandable and doable way. I highly recommend it!

This book is stacked with ideas for capturing everyday life in beautiful photos. It covers technique, lighting, background and props in language even a beginner can understand. The "Show Off Your Photos" section has marvelous ideas for putting your photos to use as gifts, etc.

No fancy equipment required. Just hundreds of simple, inspiring ideas and lessons. This book is organized around the six essential principles of seeing like a photographer. It is both instructional and inspirational. Enjoy!

Smartphones have put powerful cameras, literally, in our pockets and encouraged us to document our lives in ever-increasing detail. But do we realize their full potential?
