Product Description
Light. It's the most transformative tool at any photographer’s disposal. Whether the lens is turned to people, wildlife, or landscape, the creative use of light is often the difference between a snapshot and a powerful photograph. In Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light, renowned photographer, writer, and educator Ibarionex Perello shares his unique insights for partnering with natural light to create evocative digital images. He brings his palpable passion and personal approach rooted in decades of experience, and reveals his honed techniques for controlling focus, exposure, white balance, and sharpness to create beautiful and impactful photographs. In an industry so obsessed with gear, this book bridges the gap between the technical and the creative and returns to a personal, inspirational narrative about perceiving and photographing light.

This review is from: Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light (Voices That Matter) (Paperback)
In my humble opinion this work is a significant contribution to photography. Ibarionex sheds light on the process of 'seeing', creating, and shooting an image with available light, shadow, texture and pattern. The narrative style flows well and doesn't get bogged down in detail or technical wizardry. That said this book could give a few more hints on technical know-how. Over all the balance is just about right for me. The book inspires, and has helped me to envisage my subjects in a fresh light.As an aside the authors podcast is quite wonderfully presented.

A splendid gift for a budding photographer,
This review is from: Chasing the Light: Improving Your Photography with Available Light (Voices That Matter) (Paperback)
This book is quite unusual in that it does not treat the technicalities as the prime starting point of getting good photos. A new photographer could leave their shiny new camera on AUTO and get great photos by following the advice in this book. Chasing the light! I have been taking photos for many years and enjoy reading every page for it's no fuss good advice and plentiful examples.
