Vision & Voice: Refining Your Vision in Adobe Photoshop Lightroom
What if your image could only communicate one thing: one major idea, overarching theme, or driving emotion? If you identified this, you'd discover your vision for that image--the internal, invisible guiding principle that directs both how you capture the image and how you develop it in the digital darkroom.

Most books teach the science/craft of post-processing, with a little bit of the "art" that makes each person's style unique. This book flips the equation upside down by attempting to focus on the "art" side of post-processing. Writing about the less tangible, more mysterious and personal aspects of the craft of pushing pixels around in RAW files is a difficult task.

This book isn't so much a technical book on photography as an encouragement to give your photographic creativity a voice. In the first part of the book, he writes a about vision-driven workflow along with a few key ideas like shooting in RAW and using a histogram, and in the second part of the book, he writes about aligning your captured image with your envisioned image through post-processing. He provides 20 of his own images (which you can download and follow along with the processing describe...more
Great addition to book "Within the Frame: The Journey of Photographic Vision" also by David Duchemin. Excellent tutorials in Lightroom, on great materials.
I really like David's work. I liked seeing the before all the way to the end. It showed me some parts of Lightroom I have yet to explore and use.
This is one of the great books on Photography and Lightroom. The author makes a fantastic effort to help us understand his vision and voice - a classic, I would say.
Very few photographers would want to share such a skill and thinking with the readers. I am glad that I came across this book. Don't forget to download the RAW files and practice as you are reading the book. I now have lightroom 4 and it was a bit difficult to follow some of the settings. But I had a great time reading and visualizin...more

This is one of the unique books on post processing. Rather than a litany of which slider or brush does what, duChemin shows you how to make Lightroom (or any post processing tool) serve the vision you have for your images. This is A short but very deep book. It moves beyond the cookbook and into the realm of a tasting. Highly recommended.

“Vision is that original spark that was ignited within you and made you pick up a camera to capture whatever it is you saw, that made you turn to shout "Did you see that!" only to find no one there--so you created an image to do the telling.”

“You yourself are unique--you have ways of seeing your world that are unlike those of anyone else--so find ways to more faithfully express that, and your style will emerge.”
