My book has launched! Android Photography: A Guide to Mobile Creativity
Aaaiiieeee! My book, my long-awaited book, has finally been published.
Android Photography: A Guide to Mobile Creativity is what it sounds like: a how-to manual for getting amazing photos out of your Android phone.
You can buy it at Amazon (linked above), at Barnes & Noble, at Target, and a handful of other places, too. I’ll update you with cool news on other places carrying my book soon.
It’s also an inspirational gallery of Android-powered work from international photographers — amateurs and pros. And it’s got an extremely thorough guide to the best Android Market photography and photo-editing apps, and guides on how to use them.
I spent a ton of time on this book, and I’m very pleased with the results.
If you buy it, I will love you. And I think you’ll love it, too.
From the publisher, Ilex Press:
Android-driven smartphones have revolutionised the world of mobile phones, bringing iPhone-like touchscreens to a mass market — and every phone includes a camera, always at hand.
This is a book for every Android smartphone owner who has an interest in creating stylish, fashionable, exciting and unique photos, wherever they are. This book selects the best Android apps out there and teaches how to use them through clear illustrations, inspirational images and a friendly instructional text.

With Android phones outselling iPhones in the US, and set to do so worldwide in 2011, this book’s time has come.

Bought! This looks beautiful Jolie! Congrats!
Aah, thanks Jesse! Hope you enjoy. =)
Im sure it is a great book as +Jolie O’Dell! is super smart and quite the great looking woman. If the photos in the book are half as good looking as she is, the book will be amazing.
Although I am an iPhone man, to know that I will be loved by Jodie (“If you buy it, I will love you”.) will be well worth the price of her book, as a matter of fact, it would be priceless.
wow Jolie what a great idea, today we chat about mobile photography on our 3pm ET convo on #VZWBuzz – we will make sure to link to your book and I’m getting it for myself ASAP!

I’ll be picking up a copy soon.
Just for the format/layout, I’d have bought it. But written by you, it’s bought even blindfolded. Thank you!
How rad! I had no idea you had a book in the works. Kudos!
Hi Jolie, glad to see that it’s available on Amazon UK. I’ve been wanting to get involved with photography while out and about for a while, but with my measly 3 MP iPhone camera there wasn’t much point.
When I upgrade to the new Sony Android phone early next month with a 12 MP camera, this book will compliment the phone perfectly.
Amazing initiative! I`ll try to buy it from Brazil.
Jolie,
what an excellent topic for a book – I’ll try to get it through Amazon (uk) – they ship to Denmark.
I’m not a photo expert, but I did write an Android photo app ( on a hobby basis ) with an unusual twist – it shoots up to 30 photos/seconds, so it is well suited for action shots.
It would be very interesting for me to know your opinion about such an app ( I’m guessing that it is not mentioned in your book ) – and how it could be used in mobile photo space.
( I won’t plug the name of the app – this is your site, not my ad space
, but it should be findable on the Market – it’s fairly popular )
Yay!!
Congrats Jolie. That’s awesome.
This is a nice surprise. Not too long ago I saw an interesting YouTube video about PluralSight and their Android app. Then later I start following Roman Guy on twitter, but he doesn’t tweet much about Android. Before I decide to unfollow him I notice he got a tweet from someone named Jolie. And here I am. It’s a small world. Congratulations on your book!
Will an ebook version be released shortly available in the UK market?
Just ordered mine! I never received conformation as to whether my photographs were used, so I decided to buy a copy anyway. If I receive a free copy too, it will make a great present for a fellow photography enthusiast. Thanks Jolie, I know you put the work in on this book!
Jolie,
I picked up a copy. I’m enjoying it so far. Nice photos in the book did you take the pictures yourself?
