"The Pocket Photographer" is an easy-to-understand and non-boring photography introduction book

To mobile photographers, cameras seem like a product of the last century.


The first sentence in the book, "Cameras don't take pictures, people do.", makes us reflect on the original intention of photography. Is the equipment more important or the photographer's current mood? If you don’t need ultra-high definition, high image color information, or magnification and cropping, from a photographer’s perspective, a mobile phone can definitely meet your needs.

"The Pocket Photographer: How to take beautiful photos with your phone" is an easy-to-follow guide to getting the most out of your phone camera, perfect for anyone who wants to take Instagram-worthy photos.

Everyone has a camera on their phone. The author, Mike Kus, a photographer with a huge Instagram following, shows some simple tips and tricks to take your photography to another level. He is a photographer with a smartphone, not because he doesn’t have a camera, but because he believes that taking a wonderful and rich photo is more important than using any tool.

With over 144 pages of engaging visuals, this guide shows you how to use your phone to create memorable images. These methods can be mastered by anyone, and the principles are equally relevant to the camera. It avoids referencing specific phone camera techniques, and instead relies on clear principles to make you a better photographer.

Compared with the areas such as aperture, shutter, sensitivity, camera operation, etc. that are often mentioned in general photography teaching books, the content of this book is more likely to help people improve.
