Smartphone Video Storytelling (2018 Taylor & Francis, New York & London)

Videos mit dem Smartphone (2019 dPunkt Verlag - German language edition)

Mobile Journalism (2020 Visual Editors, Chicago)

I have been teaching video and photo storytelling as a journalism professor in universities and newsrooms around the globe since 2005.

I love teaching people how to tell big stories with small cameras. The smartphone is the one we all have in our pockets and I teach people how to shoot and edit amazing scenes with it. The lessons I teach here translate to all other cameras you may use in your career, because I teach you how to get the shots that tell epic stories
