“Beautiful book full of advice & inspiration”
(Hardback)
I had this book on preorder as I knew about Sara from Instagram and felt that this book was going to be amazing just from the initial synopsis and preview. It doesn’t disappoint, gorgeous photography is paired with genuine honest advice, and helpful tips suitable for beginners through to those a little more experienced. Highly recommended for those wishing to learn more about Instagram and photography intended for this platform.
“Beautifully inspiring”
(Hardback)
The book is lovely to look at and handle, and the photographs are well chosen and varied. Both words and pictures inspire the reader with confidence about what can be achieved. Sara's personal and professional journey is described with honesty, humour and warmth. I especially liked the parts which analysed how the photos were set up...and what you can't see in every image. I enjoyed it enormously, as did the teenage daughter of my friend. It would also make a lovely present.
“Truly inspiring!”
(Hardback)
Absolutely loved reading this! It was a real insight into a world that I love - both photography and Instagram. I use Instagram for several reasons, personal, author profile and a work profile, and I have learned lots that I can put into good use across all of these. There were some great examples, some fantastic tips and advice, plus the little tasks really got you thinking about your photos and why you take them. I learned a lot about myself and why I take photos from reading this book!
“Not for me but I can see why others like it”

I was bought this as a gift but as a photographer the photography tips were too basic- i.e. how to get off auto mode. And I'm not interested enough in social media but it was a lovely book to look at
