The best camera is the one you have with you. In many cases, that means your smartphone. Bestselling author Scott Kelby has written a book about photographing with the iPhone.
This book is specifically about the Apple iPhone. So if you have a smartphone from another brand, the book is immediately a lot less interesting. That certainly does not mean you cannot still get plenty of useful tips from it that also work on all kinds of other smartphones.
Chapters
1. iPhone camera: the basics
2. Creating professional compositions
3. Photographing people
4. Posing
5. Travel and landscape photography
6. Other fun things to photograph
7. iPhone camera: tips and tricks
8. Managing your photo library
9. Editing your photos
10. Apps that take your photos to a higher level
11. Great iPhone accessories
12. Photo recipes
As always with Scott's books, you can skip the chapter introductions if you do not like his silly humour.
This book is similar to Scott Kelby's digital photography tips books, and to our own Fotobijbels. Each page contains a practical tip and a matching photo.
A very pleasant way to read through the book quickly. It also makes it easy to quickly look up a tip in a specific situation.
Conclusion
Photographing with the iPhone is a good book for anyone who wants to take better photos with their smartphone. It focuses entirely on the iPhone, but users of other brands can also get dozens of useful tips from it.
The book never gets too technical, so it is easy for everyone to read and put into practice. The tips are practical and versatile. Many different types of subjects are discussed.
The format, with a practical tip on every page, is excellent and makes it a very pleasant book to read through quickly. This means you can quickly get started and put the tips into practice.
