The book was awarded the distinction of being a Finalist in the Photography category of the 2018 International Book Awards, sponsored by American Book Fest.

Across all of its categories, the 2018 International Book Awards brought in over 2,000 entries in over 90 categories, and only about 20% of the books entered received awards.

"It's a great honor receive this award. After more than 25 years taking pictures and helping others with their photography, editing, backup and printing, it's a joy to be able to share many of my photography tips and 'secrets' through the fifty lessons and assignments contained in the book.
