iPhone Photography for Everybody

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. "Learn to capture more powerful and engaging images with your iPhone. Too often, we use our iPhones just to 'grab' a few ho-hum shots that do little more than document how things looked. 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 Three Benefits to Readers 1. Learn to approach image-making more creatively 2. Use the iPhone’s stripped-down controls most effectively 3.
