The Joy of iPhotography: Smart pictures from your smart phone

Nice read for my daughter who is interested in photography... provides some unique insight and ideas!

Well, I was intrigued by the title, and the price was low enough, so I decided to splurge! The book is super basic when it comes to photography; a seasoned or pro shooter will get bored with a lot of this book. I was pleased by the sharing of apps and usage. there are thousands of iPhone apps for post processing, sharing etc. I have been looking at the books and trying to weed through and find the apps that are the most commonly used.For an amateur, a teen, or others who have little to no experience with image making, this book will do a great job of getting you started. Repleat with great images, Hollimgsworth shares some great moments, as well as some supurb techniques. However, if you have ever shot with a DSL or quality Rangefinder, this will probably be a good book for a few ideas, and some nice pics to look at. But, I always tell people - even if it is simplistic - if you get one idea or new technique - or if the bloody book just makes you THINK - thin it's worth it!

I enjoyed it. Planning on going through it again.

Great info, well written & designed!

Nice overview to iPhotography but no actionable insights. I think he's saving those for his workshops. More a celebration of his pics and a collection of his thoughts than a guide for the aspiring photographer.

Helpful for future travel

I was expecting much more emphasis on using various apps for post-processing, rather than general photo advice.

I've always been a "technical" photographer. I pay more attention to what camera settings I need to use to get the shot I want, and less attention to the emotional side of photography or the connection between the photo and the viewer. This book is going to change that.The Joy of iPhotography is not an instruction manual for taking better photos, nor is it a book about apps and how to use them. It is a series of experiences taken from the chapters of Jack Hollingsworth's life as a photographer and expressed in print with the same passion that Jack has for iPhone photography. And although this book is all about taking pictures with an iPhone, the same lessons learned here can be applied to photography in general, whether you shoot with an iPhone or a DSLR with all the fancy lenses.Jack has been taking photos for decades and not only has a lot of knowledge and wisdom about what camera settings are needed to get the shot, but he knows a lot about the medium in general. He's done his homework. I've been a photography enthusiast for years, and became an iPhone-only photographer last year. Just when I thought I knew it all, this book comes out and now I feel like I just went to school. I learned even more about exposure, composition, and even editing, but remember, this book isn't a manual for these things. Jack incorporates these things into the emotional side of photography because they are in the "sum of its parts" that make photography whole.The images in The Joy of iPhotography are splendid and each page of text is complimented by a page of images to illustrate each point Jack is making. Plus the quotes from other photographers and the little anecdotes throughout the book are very thought provoking. Again, there's the emotional side of photography that I've been missing out on.I will be keeping this book handy for quite some time because I know I will be revisiting its pages for inspiration and the reminder that there is much more to photography than just getting the shot with the right settings. Jack Hollingsworth, thank you for allowing me to discover another side of not just myself, but another side of the art of photography, and more specifically, iPhotography.

Friendly enthusiasm, encouraging the amateur photographer. It doesn’t give an exhaustive catalogue of ‘how to’ - although many hints and tips are present - rather, it’s about getting you going, which it does well.

Fantastic book all about iPhotography, top tips and advice from a pro. This book will guide and help you get the best out of your iPhone's camera and offers advice on some of the better apps out there.The book is well put together and it's easy to get stuck into. I'd recommend it to beginners and seasoned pros.

My daughter loved it as she loves photography. Brilliant little book.

Great book for anyone starting photography or iPhone photography. May be a bit basic for photographers but enthusiasm is infectious!

Love it
