What is beauty; and what is truth? These are some of the questions which aesthetics tries to answer. In our everyday life; we talk about the aesthetics of an artwork or a piece of design. But aesthetics goes beyond the simple experience of art. It is also a branch of philosophy concerned with the whole nature of experience itself; explored through our perceptions; feelings and emotions.

I am a photographer and passionate about what I do but my photography is not my "day job" or primary source of income; so Im conscientious in my purchases such that they do not tip the scale between professional-on-the-side and...very expensive hobby. ;)What ultimately persuaded me to purchase this book before all others was the very detailed review by Paul Lehmann (...) in conjunction with the editorial reviews of the book. Thanks in large part to Mr. Lehmanns review; I was reassured that this would be a useful primary resource as opposed to a basic checklist; a look down the nose ala jpeg vs RAW and personal stylistic choices with little relevant information; or a very expensive advertisement for equipment that may be superfluous depending on so many factors an author/editor might choose to ignore. This book really is just wonderful. It goes beyond its advertised "wedding" focus and gives clear; useful; and very relevant information. Within minutes of flipping through random pages of this book; I found myself saying; "Oh; wow!" - not to a picture (though the author does a stand-up job of using his images to illustrate his point not just show off what he does) but to information that miraculously resolved a small but long-lasting irritation Ive had with a bit of processing equipment; I knew I found a gem of a book. I am very pleased that my money was very well spent on something that will ensure my continued growth and success as a photographer. I am equally pleased with how the author presents; supports; and approaches the information he provides in this book. If he leaves anything out; I dont have an argument with it as this isnt a "how to" Ill take some exclusions or glossing over as an assumption that Ive got the basics down. Im happy dealing with any such omissions if it means there arent three chapters dedicated to how to put the pieces of your camera together; an ego-coddling "dont expect perfection the first time around" section; etc.This book will never get dusty!0 of 0 people found the following review helpful.

Extravagent weddingsBy AZN8TVThis is a lovely book; filled with great idea.My one observation is that it highlights what appear to be very expensive weddings. Not all are so.
