OrangeReviewStarThis guide can help us all be better photographers. Every page is packed with dynamic images shot by Fagans, an expert photographer, photo editor, and teacher. His arresting smartphone photos are accompanied by short descriptive stories, with just enough formal and technical information inconspicuously folded in. Ideas for fresh subject matter, tips for improving observational skills, composition basics, and encouragement to experiment are all generously offered. Chapters suggest new approaches to everyday smartphone subjects such as selfies or food and drink; more ambitious subjects include travel, sports, and documentary-style photography.
VERDICT Anyone who wants to create smartphone photographs that stand out should pick up this book.
