A COMPREHENSIVE EBOOK WITH INCREDIBLE CONTENT ON DIGITAL PHOTOGRAPHY
Beginning and intermediate photographers, you’re in for a treat.
Because it would be too easy to say this ebook’s 13 chapters and 14 hrs of video are encyclopedic, comprehensive, or even — yes I’m going here – omniscient. It’s that informative.
It’s best to think of Tony Northrup’s How to Create Stunning Digital Photography as 9 books in 1. Or as the go-to source for learning photography.
Just spend twenty minutes reading the first chapter and you’ll be making better photographs. Northrup is amazing at explaining complex ideas into easy-to-digest bites.
Learn anything and everything about a DSLR?
The other first 4 chapters were made for the complete beginners (or those needing a refresh). Those who just picked up their camera and are looking at it like it’s an alien object or those who need to remember how to read a Histogram.
Composition, lighting, and camera technique all get a chapter for themselves. And these chapters are in-depth studies of the settings and principles that guide their proper functioning. Altogether, this is the part that will teach you how to make stunning photographs.
When you see the world differently, your images will be different
Plus, you get a handy troubleshooting section that discusses issues like blurry or unfocused photos, sharpness problems, bad colour, dust, washed out photos, and crooked horizons.
After only the first 5 Chapters you will learn:
– How to direct light and understand hard/soft lighting
– How to control aperture, shutter speed, and ISO
– Why leading lines, scale, and perspective guide composition
– What blinkies are for and how to use metering guides
– And finally, understand how to properly expose a photograph
These chapters could’ve supported their own book, been called a DSLRs for Beginners or something, but instead, they serve as an introduction to what truly sets this ebook apart.
Every genre of photography is explained in this Digital Photography guide.
There are an additional 8 chapters, each devoted to a different aspect of photography. And these chapters aren’t skinny either.
All of them are exhaustive explanations into the minutiae of details, anecdotes, and techniques that each genre contains. They are meant for photographers looking to gain a handle on their preferred genre (or those looking to master it all at once).
You’ll learn the professional ins and outs of everything from studio portraiture to wildlife photography. Each chapter complete with useful and ingenious tips that come from experience.
For example, you’ll learn why when taking portraits of shy kids it’s best to not talk to them at first (gives them space to relax). Or, when photographing birds, you should never look them in the eye – only predators make eye contact.
All told there is advice & guidance for Portraits, Weddings, Animals, Landscapes, Night Photography, HDR, Macro, and even Underwater Photography.
This digital photography guide gives you five innovations no other guide offers:
- Free video training – Watch over 14 hours of fast-paced, hands-on video tutorials integrated into the book to support and reinforce the lessons. View the videos using any web browser or by scanning QR codes with your smartphone.
- Hands-on practices – Complete the practices at the end of every chapter to get the real world experience you need.
- Practice quizzes – At the end of Chapters 2-13, you have the option of taking an online quiz to apply what you learned in the chapter and make sure you didn’t miss anything important.
- Classroom support – Join an author led private community of supportive, helpful people who also want to improve their photography.
- Free ebook with lifetime updates – When you buy the book and join the private Stunning Digital Photography readers community, you can download the ebook and copy it to your smartphone or e-reader for easy reference. The ebook is regularly updated with new content and videos as new photography trends and equipment emerge, so it never becomes outdated.

This is one of the best books on Photography I've seen. It's full of practical advice, exercises, good theory and examples. It's one of the go-to books for amateur photographers, and afterwards you can interact with the online community. Tony and Chelsea also have reviews and news in a kind of podcast on YouTube.

This can be a good book for beginners and intermediate photographers who want to learn or revise technical aspects of digital photography. The various aspects of DSLR photography are well summarised and explained. The linked videos are a good complement to the text and the author is definitely a good communicator.

I was disappointed in this book. It has good information, but it also has a lot of sell: go to their site, join their facebook group, pick up their other book - did I even see a link to buy their t-shirt or am I imagining that? I thought the videos would be a way of driving home points they make in the book, but they have supplemental information that isn't in the book. I picked up a book to read a book, not to hop on the computer every other page. And to have to go online in order to get a simp...more

This is a superb book that has been great to refresh my photography knowledge. I last read a photography book about 10 years ago and technology has moved on a lot since then. This book is up-to-date and very pragmatic. Thoroughly recommended.
If you could absorb everything in this book in one read, you would suddenly be a master photographer, perhaps one who never took pictures because he didn't know where to start.
Most of the info in here I have already learned over 30 years of amateur photography. Some are common sense. Some are specific to Nikon and Canon DSLRs (I learned a few things about the settings on my D50). Some are debatable, such as use of a UV filter vs. a hood to protect your lens.

This is a great book, for a reasonable price. I was lucky enough to get it while it was on the free list, but will recommend it to my friends as well. This is a very clear and comprehensive book on photography. My father was a professional photographer and gave me my first lessons on an old box camera before he'd let me near his more expensive ones. Over the years I had forgotten many of the lessons he taught me, but this book brought them back. Now that we live in a digital age, being a good p...more
I learn so much from this book! The videos and examples are great. I felt inspired to practice myself and this helped me a lot.

Decent beginner's guide / reference.
This book had a lot of practical how-to information on the fundamentals of photography, though there are sections that are slightly out-of-date. Though that's not what took away from the book for me, as books will always inevitably go out of date as time passes and practices develop.
The author inserted gender stereotypes (e.g. 'male clients will always like dirty jokes' and references to how women should only pose in 'feminine' ways) that I did not appreciate at all. It was a reminder for me of...more

Tony Northrup is among the very first YouTube channels from where I learned how to manipulate my DSLR. Overall it is a good book and good value. Basically, this is Pay What You Can Edition which is free. The book is interactive so there are tons of things to learn. It is fair to say that the book gets all the basics right, it also explains the technical aspects of visuals well and is filled with supporting visual elements that you can compare and look for details.

This is more than just a book. The authors have also created an online community around it, where members can share and discuss the photographs they've made in light of the guidance in the book; and there's a YouTube channel that's regularly updated with information about techniques and equipment. There are also tutorial videos available to registered readers. Tony has a relaxed, approachable style on video and this comes across in the book too.

A superb introduction to photography of every imaginable variety. This is less of an abstract treatise on the concepts of photography and more of a cookbook for photographers. The different sections cover the basics of what is necessary from a practical perspective that encourages experimentation with a solid basis of core techniques and suggested settings for any situation. I would probably rate this book 5 stars if I had a physical copy - it's the kind of book one leafs through, dog-ears, and...more
This is the BEST book I've read on photography
I have read many books regarding different aspects of photography. This book is like a full course and overview of anything you might want to use for your new dslr. Of course no single book can cover everything in complete detail but this one comes close
The author's light and casual style underlines his obvious love and dedication to the craft.
After many years of going out and taking pictures I now feel better prepared to making some memorable images

Good overall. The complimentary videos are definitely helpful. With almost 230 pages, it lacks enough breadth and examples and definitely lacks a guide on what equipment to purchase. The author wants you to buy his guide separately. That’s definitely a big draw of this book. This renders the books fragmented and incomplete and the reader might feel being taken advantage of. I hope the author fixes those flaws in his next editions. A more complete book seems to be that of DK complete course of ph...more
Absolutely the BEST digital photography book I've read. It is engaging, broken down for the newest photographer, yet with such precision and detail that it is the perfect reference manual even for the seasoned photographer. It is contemporary, with QR codes enabling the reader to go directly to the referenced and related videos supporting the text, which gives depth to the learning experience. I loved this book and HIGHLY recommend it!
I just took the plunge into digital photography with the purchase of a Nikon D7500. After watching a number of YouTube videos from Tony and Chelsea Northrup, I picked up this great reference book. This has fantastic advice and a number of items to practice the skills provided in each chapter. I look forward to revisiting the chapters as I venture out to make photographs and improve my own skills by applying the lessons in the book.
Jul 09, 2017Guy rated it it was amazing
Northrup and his wife Chelsea, a former model (one could argue she is a *current* model) present the best DSLR photography book one could hope for. Written and conceived to be read in electronic format (color please) because of its hotlinks on frequent updates, this manual is all one needs to start and perfect their photography skills. A must have, a must read and above all, a must *re* read.
If you want ideas on how to improve your digital photography game or just learn how to effectively use a digital camera, this is a great book. And the Kindle edition is awesome! The tutorial videos that add to the text make it a wonderful learning tool. The Facebook group you get to join as a book owner is great, too!

A wonderful resource!!! After reading through a little fast, now returning again and again to bookmarked (Yes, I have the ebook and card reader , too) sections. Tony and Chelsea Northrup 's videos came up first on Google search and by far the easiest to follow and thorough explanations I have found.

Tony and Chelsea are doing an amazing job of teaching photography in an interesting manner and performing the difficult task of providing great detail without becoming boring. Do watch their great videos!

very informative for new photographers, read this early on in my photo journey and although I do not reference it anymore, it did help me get off the ground, and explained things in a easy to understand and execute manner
Superb
Simple and comprehensive tutorials on virtually all aspects of digital photography. For a beginner like myself, this book has proved invaluable. Can’t wait to start practicing!
