The blurb said I would find insider tips from the best around the world.
Honestly this book is just some random advice with some pictures, many of which I didn’t care for. Neither the advice nor the picture.
I was completely underwhelmed by this book, I have read better tips on Twitter and Instagram than in the 120 of this book.

This is an unusual and inspirational book on photography. It has a carefully selected photograph to demonstrate each tip or point, enabling you to focus and take in the information. The tips are suggestions about what works for various successful photographers and the book is a guide rather than a set of rules. You can experiment with any suggestions that appeal to you.

A great look at notable photos, many with notes from the photographer as to how they achieved the shot. Tips on the techniques and technical aspects are also given to help budding photographers achieve a similar effect. Great addition to any photographer’s bookshelf.

This book has some great tips and things to help you think outside the box. Personally, I don’t love the title because there shouldn’t be any “rules” to photography, it’s all about your own creativity and what you prefer. While I like some of the tips, like “don’t overthink”, there is a ton of words for this being a photography book. It’s a great book if you’re looking for inspiration or to gain more confidence, but maybe not if you’re looking to learn the basics.

Weirdly this book made me feel like I was at an art gallery. Brilliant and unusual images with thorough explanations of what works and what doesn’t. I’m not a photographer, but as a novice, this book is great. And it's not just a coffee table book either, like some can be!

Thank you NetGalley for my complimentary copy in return for my honest review.
