Buy the new iPhone Photography eBook and go in the running to win an iPhone 5

Three weeks ago, together with Digital Photography School, I launched the first comprehensive ebook on how to take professional photos with your iPhone.  The ‘iPhone Photography’ eBook has been very well recieved by both beginners and professionals alike.  

To celebrate the success of the new eBook (and the launch of the new iPhone), DPS are giving away an 16GB iPhone 5 to one buyer of the eBook.  The competition runs until October 2, is worldwide and the winner even gets to select the colour of the phone!  What better way to improve your iPhone Photography than getting your hands on the iPhone 5?

Here are a few testimonials that have come through about the ebook:

“Thanks so much – I bought a copy earlier today and have spent the last 4 hours using my iPhone to take photos I’d never have thought possible with it. As I started to read this it became clear to me why I had been getting such average results from my iPhone in the past and how to improve them. Thanks DPS!” – Barbara (blog comment)

“‘iPhone Photography’ is a wonderful and inspiring guide to this revolution in photography. While written so clearly that even a total beginner can quickly learn how to take high quality photos, this eBook is valuable for iPhoneographers of all skill levels. The book shares all of the secrets you need to know in order to make great artistic images using your iPhone and selected camera and photo apps. It inspires you to explore the tools and techniques by actually using them, which is the best method of learning.” – Jens Daemgen – Creator of ProCamera App

“If you’re the owner of either the iPhone 4S or iPhone 4 versions of Apple’s iPhones, this eBook, iPhone Photography – How to shoot, edit and share great photographs, is the right choice for you. It will show you everything from setting up your camera to using the best apps, sharing pictures with the community. And will even teach you photography if you just got interested in the medium through the use of your iPhone.” – Pixiq.com (review)

Feel free to ask us any questions you may have about the book in the Disqus comments below. Otherwise, shoot me a tweet.

Head over to the Digital Photography School site for more information on how to purchase the book and go in the running to win the new iPhone 5.

Upcoming events and projects

Hi everyone, just wanted to share a few events and projects that I have coming up.

We’re meeting at Federation Square then going for a photo mission around the CBD and ending up at a local bar for beer and satay. The event is open to all!  More details can be found on the Facebook Event page. 

Second, I will be running an experimental mobile photography workshop for the Monash Gallery of Art as part of their Photographic Abstractions Exhibition running throughout August and September.  The workshop is on Sunday 9 September and costs $25 for non MGA members. More details below:

Finally, I’m working on a super exciting ebook project which will be released very soon.  Follow me on Facebook and Twitter for regular updates on the project.

It’s not about the filters: context, photojournalism and Instagram



Hi everyone, 

I’ve written a new post on the Mobile Photo Group blog about the importance of context when sharing photojournalistic photos on Instagram.  Here is a short excerpt from the post: 

As with all social networks, Instagram users curate their own personal experience. They chose who they follow and how.  Some like cats, some like flowers, some like war reportage, and some like all three on their feed at the same time.

I’d love to know your thoughts on the article.
