“I got this book because I love to take pictures but don't know enough to do a good job. I expected some advice on lighting and placement but got a treasure trove of information that has totally changed the quality of pictures in my camera. I love the format of the book. It is easy to read and easy to refer back to. This is not only so much more than I expected, but the way it is written makes everything easy to understand and apply. This is the best book on photography I have ever read.”

“I wish I had a book like this when I was learning photography.”
— Dave Brosha, professional portrait and landscape photographer
“I've owned a camera for a long time and just shuffled my way through. This book is what I needed to understand the camera on a deeper level. I get it! F-Stop, raw images and AWB are no longer a mystery. Well done Angie and thank you!”
— K.G., Amazon.com review
"Now you've gone and written an amazingly useful book. I love it because it's already helped me learn how to use my new camera, which I bought a few years ago. I was overwhelmed with the camera manual and your book lays it all out in a much easier-to-follow way than all of the manufacturer's manuals that I've seen.
I really encourage you to get a copy of Angie's book and learn how to make photography a lot easier and more effective for yourself as well."

A landscape example of the rule of thirds (page 95).

I love a great picture! This book helps the basic photography student like me learn how to take great photos. It's one thing to figure out something on your own. It's quite different for someone to come along, take you by the hand and say, "Let me show you how!" That's what Angie does--and she adds some great photos at each step of the way so you can see what she is talking about. Well done, Angie!

“I love to take pictures but am not good at it. I read this book with my camera on my lap and referred to my camera at each step that Angie took me through. It was fun and easy, just as she promised in the title. Even if you use your iPhone to take pictures, the chapter on composition is worth the book's price. I highly recommend this book.”
— N.P., Amazon.com review
This is the guide I’ve been waiting for! I love that Angie included step by step instructions with pictures! Being a visual person that needs to see an instruction to follow, this is perfect! There are also easy to follow practical exercises. I had put down my camera for a few years until I discovered this gem, now I’m excited to get back behind the lens. Thank you so much for this! I recommend anyone who loves photography to get this book as a great reference guide.
