Capture the Moment: The Modern Photographer's Guide to Finding Beauty in Everyday and Family Life Hardcover – April 7, 2015

This gorgeous book, which can double as an educational resource as well as a sophisticated coffee table book, is filled to the brim with gorgeous imagery and applicable tips for creating beautiful photographs. The tips throughout the book, which progress from basic to advanced, are reinforced through images that further demonstrate what is being taught. This book has been one that I've referenced many times since I purchased it and I would recommend it to anyone looking to be inspired by beautiful images. (In addition to being a gorgeous book and great resource, all proceeds from the sales are being donated to the Ronald McDonald house...really incredible of the author!)

Such a beautiful book and nicely laid out. Good source for inspiration. It will make you think! I wouldn't say it's very instructional, but that's not what I was looking for anyway. I can flip through it every day. It gives me warm and fuzzy feeling.

I greatly enjoyed the book. While it is not a specific do this or do that or this is how to do this... it is a book that will get you to thinking, "how can I adapt this image or that image to what I am now doing?". The photos are outstanding and the work is designed to be more inspirational than to be a teaching book. But if you love outstanding photos and enjoy being inspired then you will also like this book...

Good points? This book contains beautiful images to inspire. Sarah Wilkerson is a wonderful photographer and I admire her doing this and donating the proceeds to a great charity.Bad points? None. However, I would have loved even more advanced instruction.Saying that, this was a pleasure to look through and I am happy to add it to my bookshelf :)

Great book on lighting and other things needed to help u get great photo's done by women. Got it yesterday read it today but it's great to have for looking something up if u need it. Great photos.. This isn't like a book that has everything step by step, but gives u easy to understand help in short paragraphs. Pics always help me to understand sometimes better than reading lol..

This book is a great read for any Aspiring portrait photographer! It's beautifully done with many great pictures displaying the topic they are referencing on each page and the tips are fantastic, really helped me take my photography a step further. I also love that it has challenges to make you think and reach for better.

I really like this book. I love the large beautiful photos and the simple and direct wording above the photos, they give you simple inspiration with out telling you how to copy the image exactly. I have been taking photos for over 10 years and sometimes I get in a rut. I just got this book at the first few pages already got the creative juices flowing. It's great for all skill levels!

Easy to read and to understand. Author describes technique with a nice sample photo make a clear understanding to the reader. I would recommend this book for every one who need to capture the moment of your kids and your family with nice and beautiful photos.

I'd read a review of this book elsewhere and purchased it on that recommendation and I am really pleased that I did. This is more of a collection of photography tips than an extensive text book, but it is still informative and the images in the book are stunning. Each image is also accompanied with the camera settings used by the photographer and this is something which I find really useful. I also like the fact that the proceeds from this book go to a very worthwhile charity.

It is said that photographers view life differently.This book intends to help foster this way of seeing: to make knowledge and instruction accessible,to provide the motivation to advance,to help you illustrate your world powerfully, and above all to empower you to embrace a passion as creator of beauty, keeper of memories, and teller of stories!

Super book. Lovely photos, helpful information, not dense on text, but straight to the intended point.

Beautiful book.

I love how the author goes straight to the point in this book. Explains a tip or technique in just a few paragraphs and then shows a photograph that is a perfect example of it.Easy and enjoyable read.Even though in the KINDLE version you can't see the photos like on paper, you see enough to understand the concept most of the times. I personally later reviewed a couple of the photographs on the computer (with Kindle for Mac) to see the photos in color and with the quality they are meant to be seen in.
