Review Summary:
A surprisingly good read even for a non photographer. Perfect for anyone with an iPhone who wants to take great looking pictures.
Introduction
This ebook was written to help any iPhone user to make the most of their ‘take anywhere’ camera.
It will help you choose the best apps for taking the photos, process them and even add the fancy effects that make you jealous when you see outstanding iPhone photos on social sites and other blogs.
The Review
This ebook has 173 pages of tips, advice and examples and will give anyone, from newbie to pro something to take away.
The book is broken down in to a number of different sections, each one having screenshots and example images taken by the author and her friends to show exactly what each section helps you to achieve.
There are a number of different app reviews which are written with enough detail and show great examples to give you a good idea if you should buy it or not. Not every app is needed but Alli makes a convincing case if she thinks it is worth having!
The book will be good for
- iPhone newbies who want to impress their friends
- iPhone photographers who want to learn a few new skills
- Bloggers who want to make their blog posts more engaging
- Writers who want to drive more traffic to their site
- Small business owners who want to spread the word about their business
There are sections that deal with Instagram and Pinterest and how to use them with the promotion of your blog in mind and even goes in to details on how to prepare your photos to be sold and distributed so you don’t lose out.
Pros
- Jam packed with content
- Great looking pages and layout on the iPad
- Tons of app reviews
- Advice from seasoned pros
- Lots of real life examples, not just stock images
- Inspirational
Cons
- Quite brief on the mechanics of what makes a good photo
My Opinion
My first impression when I opened this on my iPad was ‘wow’ . This is no hastily slapped together pdf, this is a beautiful looking book and would (if it was physical) go perfectly on anyones coffee table.
The pages and images contained in the book were mostly made using the iPhone and various apps and I must say that the whole feel of the book is very professional. A real keeper!
I’ve always been jealous of my friends who seem to have some sort of magic touch when it comes to producing great looking photos but since getting this ebook and following some the nice tips like keeping the shutter button pressed until you get the scene properly framed and then releasing it when all is good or turning on HDR and how to use fancy filters in Instagram I have started to produce some half decent photos.
Here’s a couple of examples that I took after reading the book. (don’t laugh, they’re a million times better than my previous photos from before reading the book!)
Conclusion
Overall, I was really impressed with this book and took a good few mornings reading it on my iPad while I had my morning coffee.
It was great to flick through and pick and choose which things I wanted to learn how to do and get some real inspiration on what I might like to do in the future like add great text to photos and creating montages.
I just wish it had a bit more theory on how to frame a photo and how to position the camera when taking the photos but that’s probably because I’m a coder and I need to see the.exact.steps 
If you’re a blogger, marketer or business owner then I am pretty sure that you’ll find something in this book that will bring you a sense of value for money.
For less than $10 it’s a no brainer.

hey, Thank you so much for sharing it with us.
It is useful only for iPhone users or also others?
And yeah, I forgot you to tell that whenever i try to use CommentLuv only any site and I add my site link in box and check Commentluv it says:
A feed could not be found at http://www.geeksdesktop.com/?feed=atom. A feed with an invalid mime type may fall victim to this error, or SimplePie was unable to auto-discover it.. Use force_feed() if you are certain this URL is a real feed.
What to do ?
this is happening because you have no feed reference in the header of your site so commentluv doesn’t know how to find the feed for your posts.
you should edit your theme and make sure you have a feed reference in the header. You can search google for many tutorials on how to do this

Sweet, Andy – I see you got a nice shining Author hReview plugin cranking there too
I think I’ve got just about every good iPhone photo app known to humanity on my 4S. The trusty iPhone has been my picture taking machine since the iPhone4 – I just need to keep remembering to take it out of my pocket and snap away. Does the eBook have a Memory Retention section too?
Cool review, mate.
haha, yeah the review plugin is pretty good for this type of review.

I can’t help but see things differently now, I’m always thinking, “hmm, that could make a nice photo” lol

Me too, Andy! Alli admitted to me that she takes HUNDREDS of photos a day with her iPhone. I take 4 or 5. I kick myself daily for not taking more, but I think it must be a habit one forms slowly.
For me, learning to edit the pictures on my phone has been really cool. I am a photographer. I know how to frame photos, play with light, etc but I never took time to upload and edit all my cell phone images, ya know? Now I can edit before I share. So cool!

yes I do have to get in to the habit of taking more pictures too, I need to go more places!

That must be a nice book, I think that this way of photography has given a lot of creative people the opportunity to express their artistic views without to spend a huge amount of money on DSLR cameras or getting into digital image processing. The only thing is that they aren’t photographers, they just compose images with pre-programmed presets using their phones. But sometimes they are really breathtaking.
A Perfect Guide
Thanks for that

I love the iPhone camera! I jumped from the 2g to a 4g phone, and I must say WOW. Before my point-and-click- camera blew my iPhone out of the water.. and now with the 4g I only carry my phone. I hope that says enough about where I stand with iPhone photography. It’s stunning! My question for this book (I bet there’s tons of great tips that will always apply) but does it go over top photo apps? and what about new apps? is there free updates to the eBook as technology and apps change?

Apple wants to give authorities the ability to shut down our cameras. While under the pretence of “stopping piracyâ€, this will be far too easy for authorities to abuse – especially at protests and other politically sensitive events. Why would you buy something that you don’t have full control over? And why would you support a company that treats you like a naughty child?
Starting with iPhone 4 I don’t understand people who are buying an iPhone and also an compact camera.
