Riassunto

Photography is a fundamental skill with the power to enhance our lives, and this next book in National Geographic's revamped how-to photography line shows how to create great pictures--from composition and camera basics to smartphones, social media, and digital editing.

With more than two billion pictures taken every day, everyone is a photographer now--and we all want to get better at it. This definitive guide shares top secrets and skills from National Geographic's most talented photojournalists, all sure to help you capture the best pictures of what matters most.

You'll also discover the broader dimensions of composition, photography history, and how to look at the world like a photographer.
