I had no idea a relatively short photography guide could be so impactful. It pairs practical advice on using your camera’s features with iconic photos that illustrate the concepts at hand. It was exactly what I needed to refresh myself on concepts such as composition, depth of field, exposure, and shutter speed. This is the first nonfiction book that I immediately wanted to reread, just to embed the concepts in my brain. The guidance is just so good! 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. ## Technical Specifications | Specification | Value | |---------------|-------| | Best Sellers Rank | #391,535 in Books ( See Top 100 in Books ) #6 in Photography Reference (Books) | | Customer Reviews | 4.5 out of 5 stars 3,244 Reviews | ## Images ![Read This If You Want to Take Great Photographs - Image 1](https://m.media-amazon.com/images/I/61u6xLWj6RL.jpg) ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing and impactful photography guide *by T***A on May 14, 2026* Wow.

I've got a lower end DSLR and I've learned as much as I can about it, but I just haven't had the time to use the camera enough to get over the initial learning curve that comes with experience. I ordered this book in hopes that it would give me a kick start on some of the important topics and cut down the time I'd need to spend on the curve towards taking great photos. For the most part, it's done just that. Some specific thoughts: - The jargon/vocab level seems right on point towards the target audience (assuming I'm pretty representative of the target audience). Nothing too technical at all, but at the same time not so simple that it takes too long to go through any one topic. - The organization is great. You could easily read this all the way through and enjoy, but any of the topics are accessible by themselves. - Content coverage: the sections on lenses, exposure, and especially composition are exceptional in my opinion. Short enough to get through in a snap, but just enough info to cover what you need to know. The composition section has a ton of great pointers that would take a lot of time and mistakes to learn on your own, but they're presented here clearly and succinctly, with great examples. The section on light was good as well, but only briefly touched on use of the flash, something that I think needed a little more coverage for amateurs like me. The "Seeing" section at the end was a lot more esoteric, and seemed to be mostly take-it-or-leave-it inspirational tips for people looking to take more artistic shots. Which leads to my last point... - If I have one complaint, it would be that though geared towards the amateur, it still seems to lean slightly towards people trying to take artistic shots. I'm not the type who's going to plan a trip to my local park or abandoned railroad track to take photos as art for a gallery. I just want to take pictures of my life as it comes, during trips, family events, that sort of thing, and I'd wager that most amateurs are more in that camp. At the most basic, the fundamentals are the same, which is why the composition and exposure sections are so incredibly useful. It would have been nice to get just a little more coverage of less artistic and more traditional amateur photography. This is an incredibly useful book, with a lot of information packed in briefly and clearly. If you're looking to pursue photography as art, this is probably just about as perfect a resource as it can get. If you're looking to take pictures along a more traditional line, there may be some superfluous information, but overall, almost all of the information you could ask for is still in there, and it's very very good. ## Frequently Bought Together - Read This If You Want to Take Great Photographs - Read This If You Want to Take Great Photographs of People: (Learn top photography tips and how to take good pictures of people) - Read This if You Want to Take Great Photographs of Places: (Beginners Guide, Landscape photography, Street photography) --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2499142-read-this-if-you-want-to-take-great-photographs](https://www.desertcart.tn/products/2499142-read-this-if-you-want-to-take-great-photographs) --- *Product available on Desertcart Tunisia* *Store origin: TN* *Last updated: 2026-08-09*
