{"product_id":"the-iphone-photographer-michael-fagans-9781608958870","title":"The iPhone Photographer: How to Take Professional Photographs with Your iPhone","description":"The iPhone camera is a sophisticated device. It has compelled millions of people worldwide to take a new or renewed interest in photography. Let's face it: most of us now have a tiny yet highly competent camera in a pocket or purse at all times these days, and we use it to grab shots of people, places, and things more and more often as the technology improves--and you know what? We're largely pleased with those captures. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIf you're a SERIOUS photographer, you may be wondering just how much mileage you can get out of your \"simple,\" ever-ready iPhone camera. Well, the answer may surprise you. In this book, Michael Fagans deconstructs photos taken in 60 scenarios--with a diverse array of subjects, in changing lighting conditions, in places that present unique challenges--showing you how to use solid, traditional photographic techniques to create great shots. Yes, Fagans will teach you the basics of creating a great photo. But there's far more: He'll show you that an iPhone, with the aid of apps, can mimic looks achieved by vintage cameras, a range of lenses, and countless filters. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eIn this book, Fagans teaches you how to use free and low-cost apps and Instagram options to create (or, rather, re-create) beloved vintage-photo effects that you'd achieve with the Holga (a plastic vintage camera known for its unexpected lens distortion) and medium-format-camera looks. You'll learn how to choose and use digital lenses, filters, and effects--and combine and re-combine them-to intensify color and contrast, de-saturate color, introduce lens aberrations, play with the grain and color cast in the image, and much, much more. What to emulate the look of vintage film stock to create a photo with an aged, time-worn feel? No problem. Want to introduce a little focusing inaccuracy for effect? Easily done. Want to do these things AND use traditional, professional artificial lighting sources (think a large softbox), a professional image-editing platform (Photoshop), and really refine your message while pulling out all the stops? Fagans shows you how. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe deconstruction of the images in this book makes it worth the price of admission. Still, however, there is far more: Fagans is a photographer's photographer. The book is peppered with inspiring quotes from Ansel Adams, Minor White, and countless other photographic visionaries that speak to the heart of photography.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Michael Fagans\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 1608958876\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781608958870\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Amherst Media\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 04\/14\/2015\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 128\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Paperback\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eWeight:\u003c\/b\u003e 0.80lbs\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eSize:\u003c\/b\u003e 9.90h x 7.40w x 0.30d","brand":"Michael Fagans","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":44540735521023,"sku":"9781608958870","price":27.95,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_7ec62386-c612-4049-8fe2-8dfcaf20009f.jpg?v=1700589574","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/the-iphone-photographer-michael-fagans-9781608958870","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
