Haje Kamps

With The Ilex Introduction to Photography, and highranking photographer-blogger Haje Jan Kamps, the Ilex Photo team has made the definitive first book for owners of all cameras including compacts, DSLRs, smartphones and the new smartcameras.

Hey! We are Reamaze. We wrote the book on Customer Support. Literally.

We’re passionate about Customer Support so we set out to document our experiences in a book centered on best practices.

Our book includes interviews with some of the top customer support organizations in the industry and shows you what it takes to deliver consistent, high-level support, whether you’re a one person startup or a Fortune 500 enterprise.

Author Haje Jan Kamps knows that you are travelling for two good reasons: to experience great things, and to get great photos of your travels. He also understands very well how people’s eyes tend to glaze over when phrases like “Circles of Confusion” or the “Inverse Square Law” are brandished about, and focuses instead on great photographs, and how to take them.

If you’re just starting out with a camera, or are starting to think about switching away from Auto mode, then this is the perfect book for you. Not only will you find within all the classical rules of photography—useful basic knowledge that can sharpen anyone’s eye for finding great photographs—but you’ll simultaneously be shown how you can push the boundaries that many teachers set, filling your memory card with exciting, different pictures that push the limits.
