Additional Reading Resources

iPhone Photography by Scott Kelby




















This summer’s recommended book is a fun and easy to read manual on photographing with your smart phone. The author, Scott Kelby, collaborated with his wife to create this instructive guide to improve your smart phone photos.

Many of you already know Scott for his other outstanding books on various aspects of photography. This book, The iPhone Photography Book, has a different lesson on every page, along with an example. So if you are short on time, you can just read one page and gain full understanding of that particular concept.

While Kelby uses the iPhone as an example, the concepts are easily transferable to other smart phones. I highly recommend it for your summer reading list.

It is available from Amazon for under $23 in either e-book or hard copy format.
