About the author

Librarian note: There is more than one author with this name in the Goodreads database.

Michael Freeman is a professional photographer and author. He wrote more than 100 book titles. He 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. He made the break from there in 1971 to travel up the Amazon with two secondhand cameras, and when Time-Life used many of the pictures extensively in the Amazon volume of their World's Wild Places series, including the cover, they encouraged him to begin a full-time photographic career.

Since then, working for editorial clients that include all the world's major magazines, and notably the Smithsonian Magazine (with which he has had a 30-year association, shooting more than 40 stories), Freeman's reputation has resulted in more than 100 books published. Of these, he is author as well as photographer, and they include more than 40 books on the practice of photography - for this photographic educational work he was awarded the Prix Louis Philippe Clerc by the French Ministry of Culture. He is also responsible for the distance-learning courses on photography at the UK's Open College of the Arts.

Reviews

[Bill Graham · Rating 4 out of 5]

I am a nature photographer who uses my camera to engage Nature and to portray my perceptions. This review applies to all of Michael Freeman's books.

These are NOT books about cameras. They are books about perceiving an image or scene and conveying and composing your perception so that it is communicated to the viewer.

I carry these books with me in my camper during my summer forays into Nature. The are an invaluable reference source that adds great depth to my practice and to my body of work.

This is the first photography book I've read that made me rethink the way I take pictures. The insights are enlightening.

I shoot my dog specifically and she's half black and half white. This makes everything a lot harder. Now when I take photos I'm scanning the image and observing the exposure. It's really helped the way I take photos.

I wouldn't recommend it for someone who's starting out with photography. The book has a lot of photo jargon and is more for someone looking to take their photography to the next level.

[Giustino Borzacchiello · Rating 5 out of 5]

If you want to get the most out of this book, don't read it as your first one about photography.

I'm sure that I wouldn't have enjoyed it so much. This book helped me "connecting the dots" between everything I knew about exposure.

Nasıl odaklanmalıyız? nerede hangi fokus noktası var? Hangi zaman neye göre odak oluşturacağız? Renk mi ışık mı bazen hepsini boşverip, kompozisyona mı odaklanacağız gibi bunlar ve bunların daha fazlası soruya cevap biteliğinde bir kitap. Freeman yine bizlere güzel bir ders hazırlamış.

[Tim Dumol · Rating 4 out of 5]

Basic treatment of the exposure triangle and how each component affects your shot. More of a beginner's book.

[Aaron Zaremsky · Rating 5 out of 5]

The best book on Photography I've ever read. Incredibly in-depth and detailed look at exposure techniques and style that reveal aspects of Photography I never even knew existed.

[Commander Law · Rating 4 out of 5]

A new way to look at photography and exposure in particular. I've started applying and shall have to rake through again.

[Josh · Rating 4 out of 5]

Excellent job in sticking to the title!

By slowly reading and enjoying, I probably tripped myself up over every error the editors introduced. I see other reviews say 'technical' only I will add it is explained in words or graphs - never with equations - so the material remains accessible. A reader with a less technical outlook or interest might review the exposure guide for background before this book.

On rereading: Three things stand out: (1) Reminder of post-processing by masking (final chapter final section); (2) Reminder of simplified shooting by separating exposure-lock, focus-lock, and shutter; (3) Improved understanding of (especially incident) light metering.

[Kate · Rating 3 out of 5]

This is good but VERY technical. I don't think this would be a good book for a beginner at all. A better book for beginners is Exposure: From Snapshots to Great Shots by Jeff Revell. I've been taking pictures for about 40 years, and I'm a photograph student, but I found this dense and hard to follow at times. I've liked other books by Micheal Freeman, but this is far from his best. He uses terms from the start without explaining them. Only pick this up if you are a more advanced amateur, and even at that you may be better served by (many) other titles.

I will make this short and simple until I write the professional review.

If you are a serious photographer in the early 21st Century, you need to read and or own this work. As important to modern photographer as any 'system' that has been promulgated.

There are significant differences in what happens with a digital camera opposed to film and Freeman lays out the details in one work better than anything publicly available to date.

[Beth · Rating 4 out of 5]

I tend to be lazy with exposure, hoping to fix or blend things later in processing. This book is a great rundown of situations and breakdowns to help you start thinking about and controlling exposure earlier in the process, which is really the only way you're going to get consistent results. Things don't always click for me until I'm actually practicing them, camera in hand, but this is a good study to read up on and plan for different lighting situations.

[Stephanie · Rating 5 out of 5]

An excellent resource for anybody with a serious interest in photography. The writer explains how to achieve the best possible exposures in the field, all the while recognizing that current digital photography techniques go hand-in-hand with post-processing. Each topic is thoroughly and beautifully illustrated with real examples.

[Worashet Boonyaprateeprat · Rating 4 out of 5]

Good for beginners. Still provide something valuable for the experienced photographers, like a reminder.

[David · Rating 4 out of 5]

the basic and the basic..keep learning from the masters, and from the others..exposure: the most important aspects in fundamental photography.

[Meds · Rating 5 out of 5]

It needs a good previous understanding, it's extermally help full , if you are already knowing what the scenes are composed of, I mean in terms of luma and contrast.

[Hapzydeco · Rating 3 out of 5]

Volume is extremely technical. A benefit for the professional but it might hold back the amateur.
