Ever take a photo of something that looked amazing when you saw it but looked disappointing when you saw your photo? Was your aunt sprouting foliage from her head? Does your memory of that breathtaking scene clash with what your camera apparently saw? When you look at your photo, do you wonder just what it was that was so compelling that you had to point a camera at it? If so, you're not alone. There's a good chance that you are one of the millions of casual photographers who has a camera disguised as a cell phone, but who has never had any formal training in Art.
This short, easy to read book was written by a fellow photography hobbyist to address this deplorable shortcoming in the education of fellow casual photographers -- the lack of training in the principles of artistic composition. It addresses the principles of composition, the pitfalls of neglecting them, and how to achieve more successful photos by using them, illustrated by examples of where these principles have been used, and some examples of where they ought to have been used but, sadly, were not.
The book will not bog you down with the technicalities of camera operation or optics, and is no substitute for your camera's manual, but it will empower you to think like an artist when you pick up your camera.
Whether you're a beginner just starting out in photography or a seasoned shutterbug, whether you shoot landscapes, portraits, abstracts, or family events, this book is for you.
The use of color is necessary to some of the points being made in the book, so regrettably those using e-readers that do not support color images will have a less than optimal experience.

Title: Simple yet well done
Review: This book is simple and easy to read yet full of great lessons. My biggest challenge in improving my photography is to slow down and think about what I want the image to say. Mary Konczyk does a great job of simplifying this process so that I can better succeed in my images. There are lots of books out there that cover this but this short, simple book is one of the more helpful ones.

Title: Delightful, Conversational, Helpful
Review: Mary Konczyk has put together the kind of photography book that most people need. A delightful, conversational book that teaches you by way of explanation and example how to take better photographs by being mindful of basic artistic principles. Rather than dumping a bunch of forgettable technical details about F-stops, focal lengths, and expensive lens choices which would bewilder and bore the average photographer, this book talks about compositional structure, color, values, and other simple to grasp concepts that will actually improve your photography with your current equipment, whether that is an expensive set-up or a camera phone. Easy to read and handy to have when you go out to take pictures. Recommended.
