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.

Michael Freeman, professional photographer and best-selling author, was born in England in 1945, took a Masters in Geography at Brasenose College, Oxford University, and then worked in advertising in London for six years. In 1971 he made the life-changing decision to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures he came back with, he embarked on a full-time photographic career. Since then, working for clients that include all the world's major magazines, most notably the Smithsonian Magazine (for which he has shot more than 40 stories over 30 years), Freeman's reputation as one of the world's leading reportage photographers has been consolidated. Of his many books, which have sold over 4 million copies worldwide, more than 60 titles are on the practice of photography. For this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture. Freeman's books on photography have been translated into 27 languages.
