A popular hidden jewel of an app

Whether you’re a beginning photographer, or an experienced shooter who wants to expand their knowledge, this app is worth every penny.

A great app for aspiring photographers; it also gives aspiring videographers lessons on capturing the perfect image.

I suggest that you buy the only two sections of the app that have an associated cost. One covers location lighting and the other, portrait photography. $6.98 is a more than generous bargain for a informative app. App development costs money, and I’d love to see the developer continue to updating this app; perhaps even creating a second and more advanced app.

Phenomenal

Cleverly and creatively uses a series of representative photos to convey important principals of photography (depth-of-field, aperture, different light & composition techniques, a range of typical lenses, etc.). For example, you can tap anywhere on a succession of photos to see exactly how different lenses can capture subjects. This can really help identify what lens you want to buy next or, similarly, show you the actual impact different types of popular studio and flash lighting can have on your composition. Where can you find such a practical demonstration of different popular lighting options?!

No books or DVDs on photography that I have seen can compete with this approach to teaching. I think this is app is best suited to beginners and intermediates (who were largely self-taught), imho. A truly helpful app and a genuine pleasure to use. It downloads each section when required and the size of most downloads will all but require WiFi.

Amazing tutorials! Clever and clear representation

If you are new to photography science like me, this app has answers to all your questions and you can understand with comparison (change one variable to see the effect of the pictures; change a combination of them and see what happens !)
great great job!
