iPhone Photography for Everybody: Artistic Techniques

- Blurb -

Too often, we put off taking photographs. Perhaps we wait to acquire the "right" equipment, to travel to the right place, or for our children to be in the right mood. We are never satisfied with where we are in the moment; we are always looking to the past or the future and forget to take the time and effort to document the now. In this book, award-winning photographer Michael Fagans shares a wide range of some of his favourite iPhone images, provides fascinating insights into the photographs, and gives you the push you need to get out there with your iPhone camera and capture all of the sights you can. You'll find all the inspiration you need to make creative, stand-out images in your home town, document your travels, and create a visual history that tells the story of your family, all while refining your personal vision and artistry.
