Photography is a great hobby – anyone can have fun taking photos regardless of solo or in groups, indoor or outdoor. It allows us to capture precious moments in our life, sparks creativity in us, and even train our patience. A lot of us have turn into photography, especially with the raising of smartphones with professional-quality cameras.

As the saying goes, Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. You, the beholder will decide on the presentation of a photo at its best.
About the Writer
Renez Wednesday has been a Professional Photographer for more than 10 years. At the age of 14, Renez was awarded an exhibition at Singapore Art Museum.
A sudden bout of high fever caused Renez to become blind temporarily when she was 17. That condition led her to decide on sharing her vision to the world if she recovers. She then explored further in her photography journey.
In 2010, she published her own Photography book called Composing Dreams. This book was partially inspired by her night dream.
A year later, due to overwhelming feedback, Renez also started her own line of Photography Art Postcards. These postcards were sold islandwide in concept stores and museums in Singapore.
She has since taken in over 200 students in her Photography community. She is delighted to share her knowledge with more people through this book.
My Thoughts
I find this book quite insightful and benefit beginner photographers who want to grasp the basic concept of photography. It’s simple and straight to the point, with a lot of examples to support the concept. I personally find the “Color Theory” section – which guides readers on the application of different color tones, especially beneficial for me.
A lot of photography techniques books include exceptionally beautiful photos with compelling scenes, mostly unachievable without the assistance of others. This ebook differs by showing examples of how we can story-tell through subjects we can easily find in our daily life.
The Art of Seeing – A Beginner’s Guide to Photography (worth US$39.90) is currently available at Amazon: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HL8LRB5 with a launch promo price at US$6.95.
