For professional photographers, chasing the light, waiting for it,
sometimes helping it, and finally capturing it is a constant
preoccupation and for some, an obsession. Drawing on four decades
of working with light, Michael Freeman takes a simple but practical
approach to interpreting, reacting to, and capturing photography's
most valuable commodity. Practical advice is organised into three
straightforward sections: Waiting, Chasing, and Helping. Begin by
mastering the art of patience, and recognise the immense value of
anticipating and planning for gorgeous light that's just over the
horizon. Then learn the techniques to meet otherwise transient and
fleeting lighting conditions halfway, with quick thinking and fast
reactions. Finally, make the most of the tools at your disposal to
enhance and manipulate light as you find it, covering everything
from in-the-field shooting choices to technical transformations in
post-production. This is the method of a working professional - to
interpret, approach, and master whatever lighting situation is
thrown at you and always get the shot, no matter what.
