Review: Great read and reference! - Really impressed with this read - I already have a firm grasp on the fundamentals of photography, so I was concerned this would be just a rehash of old concepts, and when I saw it was only 128 pages, thought how much info could it have?! Totally wrong on both points. The author has a light sense of humor that makes this a super smooth read, read it in one sitting, and for every concept introduced, references a talented photographer's work, with explanations of how the concept applies. I found a few photographers I hadn't heard of, as well as got to see classics like Cartier-Bresson, and even Mike Brodie's work, which I was already a huge fan of his train hopping series. If you're looking for greater insight into how to capture moments out in the world, fabricate your own artistic moments, or control and direct to create in studio, then this book will help get you moving on your creative photography endeavors mighty quick.
Review: My photos are better because of this inspiring read - I love taking photos of friends and family as well as capturing shots of local people when on holiday and decided to buy this book to get some advice on how to make them better. I'm glad to say it has already improved my photographs considerably. Rather than so many books which baffle and intimidate with technical jargon, Henry Carroll's advice is to learn the rules but not worry about having to adhere to them all the time. His approach liberates and inspires you to have confidence in your own photography, which I really appreciated as it means you enjoy the process so much more! The books' layout is great too: A guideline on each page is accompanied by an inspirational example and often a deconstruction of the image - all presented in a very accessible, easy to understand manner. Some may find the style a little too simple for their tastes but it takes real intelligence to take complicated concepts and explain them in a simple and easy to understand way (without losing any of the content), which this book does fantastically. As a result I've already been able to apply some "layering", used more interesting crops and compositions and think my "street photography" is also improving. I can now look forward to looking back on photos of my life via much higher quality photos than I might have if I hadn't read this informative, inspiring and fun to read book.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Great read and reference!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ Very good for beginners
*by T***Y on July 1, 2022*

I really liked the book. The photography was absolutely beautiful and then information was very useful. It was easy to read and there was bit any fancy camera club jargon. However, personally I’m not a big fan of “ in your face “ photography. I guess I am a “ timid photographer “ so I didn’t find the ending extremely useful. If you are a street photographer or interested, it has some useful tips. Overrall, very good. Will be purchasing a new book for Carroll soon.
