With over 400 of the most closely guarded photographic “tricks of the trade,” this boxed set—consisting of The Digital Photography Book, volume 1 and The Digital Photography Book, volume 2—is the ultimate resource for anyone who wants to shoot dramatically better-looking, sharper, more colorful, more professional-looking photos every time.

Scott Kelby, the man who changed the “digital darkroom” forever with his ground-breaking, bestselling The Photoshop Book for Digital Photographers, now tackles the most important side of digital photography—how to take professional-quality shots using the same tricks today’s top digital pros use (and it’s easier than you think).

These aren’t books of theory, full of confusing jargon and detailed concepts. These are books on which button to push, which setting to use, and when to use it. Each page covers a single concept on how to make your photography better. Every time you turn the page, you’ll learn another pro setting, tool, or trick to transform your work from snapshots into gallery prints. If you’re tired of shots that look “okay,” and if you’re tired of looking in photography magazines and thinking, “Why don’t my shots look like that?” then these are the books for you.

Customer Reviews

Scott Kelby’s Digital Photo books are great – J. Plourde

I have read other books by Scott so when I saw this set I knew it would be a smart buy. He “talks” to you in his style of writing. He is a bit of a ham at times but truly gets the point across while injecting humor now and again. Many how to books will put you to sleep but this set shows you how to easily produce the shots the professional photographers create. I also love the ending chapters where Scott gives you the “recipe” for many shots and you can go out and try them for yourself with great success.
I have been a Photoshop user for several years and have read several other books by Scott. I have never been disappointed by his books. This set is a great source for quick reference when I have ideas on a shot I wish to take. I am sure they have and will continue to quicken the process of going from a beginner to intermediate and even higher levels of photography.

Handy Guide Easy Read – R.Huberman

This book makes learning about photography fun. Each page discusses a small topic and by the end of the book the reader has really picked up some useful information after a really easy read. Furthermore, because it is broken down into 1 page discussions it is easy to reference a topic at a later date. I strongly recommend this book advanced amateur photographers looking to improve their skills.
