About the author

John Kim LMFT (The Angry Therapist) pioneered the online life coaching movement seven years ago, after going through a divorce which led to his total re-birth. He quickly built a devoted following of fans who loved the frank and authentic insights that he freely shared on social media. He pulled the curtain back and showed himself by practicing transparency and sharing his story something therapists are taught not to do. Kim became known as an unconventional therapist who worked out of the box by seeing clients at coffee shops, on hikes, in a CrossFit box. He built a coaching team of his own and launched a sister company called JRNI, creating a new way to help people help people and change the way we change. He lives in Los Angeles.

Some of the references are a little outdated now (esp. regarding megapixels and screenshots of software). Still, this is about the best basic photography book I've read. For people who want to go beyond the automatic settings on their cameras, it explains concepts like aperture(fstops)and shutter speed simply but effectively. Also gives tips for taking photographs of different subject types and in a wide variety of situations. Concise but very effective.

Very informative, but really geared towards beginners and people who are using compact digital cameras rather than DSLRs. Though in most of the sections there are notes about how to use DSLRs.

This is geared more towards point-and-shoot cameras and I was wanting more guidance for my DSLR. But it is still a good reference for general photography methods.
