Photography through the lens of light and attention

Brian Ross brings together photography technique, poetry, and Zen philosophy to examine how images take shape. The book considers the photographer’s eye alongside practical elements of the process: camera, light, timing, place, composition, visual communication, and the viewer’s experience. Its section-based approach treats creative photography as a practice of noticing and refining, connecting technical choices with the way a photographer observes and interprets a scene.

Good fit for readers who enjoy

  • Photographers interested in developing their approach to light, composition, and visual communication.
  • Readers who enjoy photography instruction combined with poetry and Zen philosophy.
  • Those exploring photography as both a technical craft and a practice of observation.

Book overview

Zen of Photography Introducing Light presents the fundamentals of creative photography as an unfoldment, a revelation. Each section considers a unique facet of the creative photographic process and gives you an opportunity to develop your own unique photography expression. Offering a blend of poetry, philosophy, and technique, Ross shares how the art of photography is created by the refinement of the photographer's eye. The photographer's eye processes and contemplates a variety of creative lenses of mind, focusing on subtle details in microseconds, being in the zone, and having a single-mindedness meditation. He shows how each element of the creative photographic process must be considered to enlighten and refine your photographic sensibilities: the artist, the camera, the light, the time, the place, the dynamics of visual grammar and composition, the photograph as a visual communication, and the viewers' experience of the image. Presenting an inspiring, informative, and beautiful collection of thoughts, images, and techniques of photography, integrating poetry, Zen philosophy, insights, and instruction, Zen of Photography Introducing Light inspires you to refine your photographer's eye and develop your creative photography process to create great images.
