Library Journal

Cameron's widely published photos are so dramatic and saturated with light that one can get blissfully lost in them. He specializes in "transient light," his term for short-duration light that momentarily transforms landscapes from ordinary to extraordinary. For a second choice, see Harold Davis's Practical Artistry: Light & Exposure for Digital Photographers.
