Gathering Light
[Book description from Amazon.com]
All photographs are to some extent about light. The eighty-five stunning colour photographs in this book are a masterful exploration not only of the light falling on objects or filling spaces but of the very act of seeing. Whether he is photographing in a museum storage room in Washington DC, or a shrine in Myanmar, Richard Ross has an uncanny ability to distil the space and the moment, whether it is profane or sacred, into its essence. These photographs are deceptively simple in their subtle examination of the world as revealed in a single burst of light.
