Customer Reviews & Comments
Mr. Davis is a devious man. Mr. Davis has written a book that for the first 151 pages appears to be a step-by-step exposition on advanced digital techniques. At a first, cursory view, the book seems "hard" and complex. Au contrair, mon ami. A digital novice could understand this book. Each technique is explained in clear and concise steps. It is as easy to follow as following the bouncing ball. Each step is numbered and even has an arrow to the next step. If you can read a road map you can understand and execute some of the most advanced and pivotal digital photographic techniques. But, Mr. Davis is a devious man. On page 152 (if you can find the page) he reveals his true, almost sinister, intent. He is not teaching how to improve photographs, which he does, but he submits to the reader a new job for photography, a job to lose the "Chains of Reality." His objective is to raise an artist from the photographer. Don't be fooled. This is an art book, and a very good one at that. After all is said and done, this is a complex book, but complex only as it is beyond each photographer's imagination. Read it. You'll like it.
