As Michael Fagans demonstrates in this book, taking a few extra moments to consider our subjects and the best way to depict them can take our shots from boring to brilliant! Hone your powers of observation to detect the most promising photo opportunities. Make the most of everyday scenes and subjects. Compose more dynamic and appealing photos"--Back cover.

Summary

We all take quick shots of the world around us--but shooting truly exceptional images with your iPhone requires a little more care. It forces you to slow down, observe the moment more deeply, and apply your artistic eye to capturing the true essence of the scene before you. Happily, the iPhone's limited controls actually make it an idea tool for delving into this process because it requires you to strip down your approach to the fundamentals and rely on what has always been the best part of the image making process: the human mind. In this book, you'll learn to use a camera phone and apps to make far more interesting photographs. Along with some technical information, experienced professional photojournalist Michael Fagans has included insightful information about his mind-set when shooting, his approach to composition, and how he handles other creative aspects of the photography process.

Library Journal Review

This guide can help us all be better photographers. Every page is packed with dynamic images shot by Fagans, an expert photographer, photo editor, and teacher. His arresting smartphone photos are accompanied by short descriptive stories, with just enough formal and technical information inconspicuously folded in. Ideas for fresh subject matter, tips for improving observational skills, composition basics, and encouragement to experiment are all generously offered. Chapters suggest new approaches to everyday smartphone subjects such as selfies or food and drink; more ambitious subjects include travel, sports, and documentary-style photography. VERDICT Anyone who wants to create smartphone photographs that stand out should pick up this book. © Copyright 2018. Library Journals LLC, a wholly owned subsidiary of Media Source, Inc.
