Book Review part 2 of 4: The Art of iPhoneography by Stephanie Roberts

Looking like an oversized iPhone, and a cross between Chase Jarvis's "The Best Camera is the One That's With You™" and Allan Hoffman's "Create Great iPhone Photos", The Art of iPhoneography written by award winning documentary photographer Stephanie Roberts offers an in-depth look at some of Stephanie's favourite photo apps, Adobe's Photoshop Express, Tilt Shift Focus, Photo FX, Hipstamatic and Lo-Mob, as well as an overview of her other essential iPhone photo apps.

Just like Allan Hoffman's book, the first section covers the iPhone's default camera apps, giving you tips on how to get the best out of them.

Then Stephanie goes on to explore her top apps showing before and after examples of her own photographs, that have been processed with these apps.

Midway through, Stephanie attempts to to inspire the reader with more examples of her iPhoneography, with missions, making the reader look and think about the composition, style and apps used, and this approach has worked really well, and is thought provoking, it even made me think.

As you near the end of the book, Stephanie dedicates a nice section to those iPhoneographers that have impressed and inspired her, and many others, like Dixon Hamby, Dominique Jost and Max Berkowitz to name just a few, giving you an insight in to the way they work, and their photographic styles.

Finally, the book ends with a guide to sharing your photos with the world via Posterous and Flickr, and a short section on useful resources, which includes this blog [thanks Stephanie].

Currently priced at a bargain $12.87 on Amazon.com or £6.49 on Amazon.co.uk, this is a nicely presented, thought provoking and inspiring book, that would suit any new or seasoned iPhoneographer.
