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.

•light’s impact on color and controlling color balance
•combining brightness, contrast, saturation, sharpness, and pattern enhancing portraits with available lighting

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.

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.

If its the full range of color and tones that Im responding to, Ill use the multi-pattern meter and the histogram to ensure that I get the best overall exposure I possibly can. If Im responding to the contrast between light and dark, Ill bias the exposure using center-weighted and spot, use the histogram to ensure that I dont overexpose my highlights, and let my shadows go to complete black. &quote;

The photograph may have been an accurate representation of what I saw, but it wasnt an accurate representation of what I felt. &quote;

The first image you take is never the only one you can make. Take the time to slow down and really see the light interacting with the subject of your photograph. Let the light be your guide. &quote;
