iPhone 12 Pro Max: The Complete Photography Guide

Updated 08/23/21

NEW Chapter -- MACRO Photography

Apple made the most sophisticated phone that we have ever seen and with it an amazing camera system. But how do you actually use it to take breathtaking photos?

No matter if you are new to Photography or a seasoned pro, this book will detail all the tricks and tips to get you taking stunning photography in a snap!

The new iPhone 12 Pro Max is a beast of a Camera. Apple reworked it from the ground up and presented us with an incredible tool, but unless you master it, you will always be held back from getting the great shots that are just beyond your reach. You don’t need any prior knowledge. We will start day one and quickly build a set of skills and techniques using simple methods with straightforward easy-to-understand examples and rules to get you out and shooting better on day one.

I break the book down into two chapters, beginner and advanced photography. In the beginning chapters I walk you through compositions, what the difference between the lenses are, your settings, improving selfies, low light photos and more. For anyone that wants to take their photography even further, there is a ton of additional material in the advanced chapters. The exposure triangle, shutter speed, advance portraits, filters, HDR shooting, landscapes and more!

This is the ultimate guide that will unlock your photos.
