Review: Simple and amazing review - If you are taking your first step into photography as a hobby, then is probably as good as you could do. He will give you a quick grounding in the numerous aspects that make photography an art form. He gives you key compositional concepts; from leading lines and framing, to rule of thirds and depth of field. Really making you think about your photographs while helping you develop your photographer's eye. There is an excellent chapter on light which every photographer should be thinking about constantly. One of my favorite things from this book with the fact that the author includes the "tip" and an example of a well photograph that applies the concept. Also covered are the technical aspects such as the trio (aperture, shutter speed and ISO) and details of the various lens types and their differences. There are some stunning pictures throughout which exemplify all the points made in the book which I found inspiring. They were helpful in solidifying the different concepts in my mind. All things considered, I think this book is a damn good introduction to photography. Gives enough information to get you out taking good photographs without drowning you in formulas and jargon. Admittedly, further reading will be required as you develop as a photographer; but that is true of your journey into any art form.
Review: Approachable, simple and highly recommended - I wish I would have found this book years ago. It's simple and straight forward in its approach to simplifying photography. Too many times I find myself getting tripped up in the nuances of built-in camera controls. This book cuts through most of the noise to get to the essential controls and the basic approaches to photography. It's a quick read, but packed with essential points. Henry applied to a photography book what most good/great photographers do to imagery. He took a complex subject, and distilled it down to the essential elements.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Good book if you’re just starting out
*by S***K on January 12, 2025*

This book has lots of great examples and prompts for beginners and even intermediate users to look at and study. Handy little reference to have if you need some insight or inspiration. My only complaint is some of the photos showed a little more skin than I cared for in photography.
