Review: Passionate photographer inspiring others - Steve Simon certainly is a passionate photographer and his book could not be more aptly named. Passionate people inspire others and that is exactly what he has done with this wonderfully crafted book which introduces ten steps to becoming a better photographer. From the beginning until the end of this book I felt like I was travelling through the career of Steve Simon and listening to his gentle advice and ideas which he seems to have learnt through trial, error and experience. From tips about design and composition to different ways of working the scene, changing vantage points and waiting patiently for the missing element of an image to sharing your vision with the world on websites. This book has inspired me with practical tips, ideas and fantastic photographs. I would recommend it as a wonderful read and reference for anyone who has has yet to find or would like to rekindle their passion for photography.
Review: Great book for inspiration and motivation! - As the title of the review points out, this is a great book for inspiration and motivation in photography. I don't think it's for beginners; it certainly doesn't teach you all the basics. Rather, it's for people who want to take their photography to the next level. It's written as a how-to guide (ten steps to improve your photography), but I didn't see that aspect of the book as its main contribution, except insofar as it organizes the author's thoughts. So what's so special about the book? The actual content of the advice is very good. I also like the inspirational/motivational tone. But I primarily like the way it reads. The author really has a passion for photography, and it comes across. And it does so accessibly. Some people are just better writers than others, and I think Steve Simon is excellent. I like his writing so much that I'd read his next book, even if it were for complete beginners (although I am beyond that stage). As I read the book, I just felt like I was taking private lessons from a friend who happens to be an expert in photography. Highly recommended!

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ This book is worth your time
*by E***E on May 10, 2015*

This is an excellent book and one that photographers should re-read once a year. The book is not about f-stops and shutter speeds. It is about the photographers attitude and mindset. If you have a closed mind and think that you can take great photos and don't need anyone's advice, skip this book. If you are open to suggestions and willing to sit down and "listen" to the suggestions being given, you will be a better photographer as a result. Everyone one that takes pictures, even the well seasoned photographer can benefit from reading Simon's book.
