I liked it.

Went for a long walk and thought hey, why not listen to an audiobook while out. I've been getting into portrait photography as of late. This audiobook was better than expected. I wasn't sure what to expect from an audiobook about something so visua, l but the advice was very good and perfect for an audiobook for a visual medium. Narrator was also very good.

Considered advice.

It is really difficult to write about photography if you believe it all happens when you interact with the camera. It seems you'd be better off using your camera, not listening.
This has some words of experience I appreciated. Its well organized. The narration is good. Because it was written in 2015 some technology has changed. Its not Sony centered. Overall though It has perspective and focus. I liked it and will listen to it again.
