"It was so amazingly easy to understand what you explained - from the technical details down to how you could actually use the setting to your advantage! It's written in an engaging, easy-to-read way so you can grasp the concepts and techniques right of the bat. Plus: it manages all that while still being complete; not something you find every day."

When I bought my first proper camera, I expected to take better photos. But somehow… my photography got worse.
My old point-and-shoot camera got better results.
So when my family asked to see the first photos I’d taken, I was embarrassed to show them...
For the first few months, my images came out soft, blurry, and underexposed.
That's because I was overwhelmed by settings I'd never used before, like focus modes, white balance, and metering.

I rarely switched out of full-auto... despite knowing that I could take better photos with manual mode.
I wasn't using my camera to its full potential and it felt like a waste of money.

I realised that if I wanted to take photos I was proud of... I had to take control of my camera and master manual mode.
Back in 2006, this meant reading my free camera manual...
Like most free advice, it was worth what I paid for it. This tiny black and white booklet was very hard to understand.
But hard or not, I learned photography. And 14+ years later I’m proud to have produced a simple solution for mastering photography…
Now, I’m confident that I can show any photographer how to:
Quickly set the right exposure setting so they never miss a shot
Take tack-sharp photos that are always in good focus
Capture moments and memories they will cherish for a lifetime
I developed this process in 2011 when I founded ExpertPhotography.
It’s helped us to grow into the world’s most-read photography education website... with 1.5 million+ visitors a month.
And I’ve outlined my knowledge into a simple ebook that’s sold 61,103 copies to date...
I’ve dedicated my entire adult life to learning and teaching photography.
I’ve read countless books, taken dozens of courses, and attended 10+ workshops… and it all comes down to this.
Cover to cover, it’s 190 pages long, but don’t let the size intimidate you...
There are hundreds of images and illustrations that demonstrate my system for taking great photos. Perfect for visual learners.
You'll soon discover how to:
Set up your camera for perfect photos every time (without buying any extra gear)
Take well exposed and sharp photos, even in bright sunlight or low light
Make your photos more engaging with simple (but powerful) composition rules
This system is suitable for every camera user, as it’s not brand specific.
It doesn’t matter if you’re using a 15-year-old bridge camera, or a top of the line Digital SLR… they all work the same way.
The system is simple and FAST to learn. There’s no fluff and no B.S…
You can start taking better photos right away.
When I finally became good at photography I was able to:
1. Shoot beautiful sunsets that my phone couldn’t
2. Take magazine-worthy holiday photos
3. Capture memories with family and friends
4. Use powerful composition instinctively
But don’t just take my words for it, check out what some of our 61,000+ customers have had to say:

I purchased your ebook today and have already read half of it. I only bought my camera in January and I did a 7 week course, 2 day workshop and a Lightroom course. I've been frustrated ever since. I was having trouble with my exposure, but your book made it click and now it all makes sense and I know where I was going wrong.
Really enjoying Photography Unlocked it has opened my eyes to many things I always wanted to know. I'm still working my way through it and am finding the sections on manual adjustments fantastic as I always used my camera on auto, looking forward to experimenting with the new found knowledge thanks to you.

This is a fantastic e-book. It is a bit hard to think of a way in which this e-book could be improved, actually. I did try! I like the fact that the book is comprehensive, and, like Josh's video courses (at least the ones I've purchased), is presented in such a way that it provides good, understandable, information, without being "professorial". By this, I mean that it is clear that the author thoroughly "gets" photography, and presents it in such a way that we "get" it too.
It was so amazingly easy to understand what you explained - from the technical details down to how you could actually use the setting to your advantage! It's written in an engaging, easy-to-read way so you can grasp the concepts and techniques right of the bat. Plus: it manages all that while still being complete; not something you find every day.

I wasn't sure how much I could learn without someone to actually showing me, but I learned a huge amount, and with a little practice the lessons have become second nature to me. The ebook explains ISO, aperture and shutter speed really well and I can now combine the elements to create pictures which are more and more like what I'm trying to capture - I have a lot more control now that I can use manual mode confidently.

Exposure is one of the most important elements in capturing a good photo.
The exposure of a scene is determined by the amount of light that is allowed to reach the camera sensor.
This can be controlled by adjusting the aperture, shutter speed, and ISO settings on your camera.
Each of these settings works together to create an exposure that is perfect for the scene you are trying to capture.
Modes, histograms, focal length…
We run through all the elements that ensure you get the best from any given scene.
Here, you’ll not only learn about camera basics but how to use them and for which scenario.
We finish this section off with ten tips on how to gain sharper images. This might be the list you’ve been searching for a long time.
Composition is essential in photography.
It’s how you arrange the elements in your scene to create the most interesting images possible.
The basics of composition are pretty simple: you want to create a sense of balance and symmetry, and you want to use leading lines to draw the viewer’s eye into the image.
But it is also about creativity and making choices that will result in a composition that is pleasing to the eye.
This eBook details the priceless lessons I learned over many years of photography. All my most painful mistakes and frustrations.
These easy lessons are coupled with images and tips on how you can avoid the same dumb mistakes I made.
Including how I stopped taking such terrible photos with my on-camera flash!
