Editorial Comentarios

Within the Frame is a book about finding and expressing your photographic vision, specifically where people, places, and cultures are concerned. A personal book full of real-world wisdom and incredible images, author David duChemin (of pixelatedimage.com) shows you both the how and the why of finding, chasing, and expressing your vision with a camera to your eye. Vision leads to passion, and passion is a cornerstone of great photography. With it, photographs draw the eye in and create an emotional experience. Without it, a photograph is often not worth—and can’t capture—a viewer’s attention.

Both instructional and inspirational, Within the Frame helps you on your photographic journey to make better images of the places and people you love, whether they are around the world or in your own backyard. duChemin covers how to tell stories, and the technology and tools we have at our disposal in order to tell those narratives. Most importantly, he stresses the crucial theme of vision when it comes to photographing people, places, and cultures—and he helps you cultivate and find your own vision, and then fit it within the frame.

One of the best., 2009-11-15
by Daniel E. (New Jersey)

I've read a lot of photography books and this one is one of the best. It is not a book about travel photography and it is not for beginers as it does not teach you about exposure or light, not it gives you any tips or tell you any tricks. It thought me though something that no other book did. If you don't take pictures with your heart is all for nothing, expecially when you shoot portraits. Technically, it can be a very good photo but it won't say anything, it won't send a message...

Hard to describe so I'll go with: transcendent, 2009-11-03
by Carson McComas (Spokane, WA United States)

It's not a book about nuts and bolts (although there's some of that in here when it relates to the topic at hand). It's a book about the creative journey of photography. Very inspiring, very thought provoking. If you enjoy thinking about photography and thinking about the creative process behind doing it well, this is a fine treatise on the subject and a pleasure to read, and re-read. Plus most of the images are gorgeous and wonderful examples of the concepts taught.

This is the book I had looking for many years...
I love photography. I tried to find a book that will help me to create better photos.
I have very good books but they are almost purely technical.
This book gives me lots of joy because it inspires me. I will probably reread this book.
If you want great technical book I will recommend " The Photographer's Eye: Composition and Design for Better Digital Photos by Michael Freeman " .
If you want & can go beyond that I recommend this wonderful book.
May I suggest a different name for this book: "Journey to photographer soul"

Nice book - hard to put down., 2009-10-30
by Erik Pettee (Salt Lake City, UT)

I'm not a huge reader and this book is hard to put down. The author's style is very engaging. The photos are nice. The ideas and spirit of the book is practical. I've appreciated what I've learned so far.

A Fresh Perspective and Inspiring Read, 2009-10-28
by Rob D (USA)

I've read lots of how-to books on photography, many of them quite good. While there's always more to learn when it comes to HOW to create a great photo, too many of us ignore the WHY. This is where David duChemin's book comes in. Yes, he covers technique and gear, but the focus of this book is on creativity and vision. It's probably been said before in other reviews, but I'm going to say it as well: This book inspires creativity in the reader. The book is filled with beautiful photos and stories from David's travels around the world that any photographer, in any place can learn from.

More important than changing how I work, this book changed how I see. After reading this book, when I go out and shoot, I find myself thinking about and interacting with my subjects differently and not coincidentally, bringing home better photos. That makes it worth far more than any other photography book I've read recently.
