Product Description
Within the Frame is a book about finding and expressing your photographic vision, specifically where people, places, and cultures are concerned. A personal book full of real-world wisdom and incredible images, author David duChemin (of pixelatedimage.com) shows you both the how and the why of finding, chasing, and expressing your vision with a camera to your eye. Vision leads to passion, and passion is a cornerstone of great photography. With it, photographs draw the eye in and create an emotional experience. Without it, a photograph is often not worth—and can’t capture—a viewer’s attention.
Both instructional and inspirational, Within the Frame helps you on your photographic journey to make better images of the places and people you love, whether they are around the world or in your own backyard. duChemin covers how to tell stories, and the technology and tools we have at our disposal in order to tell those narratives. Most importantly, he stresses the crucial theme of vision when it comes to photographing people, places, and cultures—and he helps you cultivate and find your own vision, and then fit it within the frame.

Product Review Summary: We are all different I think the title of the first chapter "It's All About Vision" attracted me to buy this book. But I am sorry to say that my vision isn't the same as duChemin"s. His book is about taking images in many places of the world, and of primarily either old or young people. That is his thing and I respect him for it. So if that is your thing "go for it".
I have read many photographic books over many years and this is this first one that didn't "turn me on" in any way. Just to check myself I leafed through the book to take another look at the images. I found only two that somewhat appealed to me. I am primarily a landscape photographer, always looking for some new scene, some new challenge of light, some new technique to work with.
I agree with the opinion that Freeman Patterson's books are really good. They were all published some time ago, from 1977 to 1985, before the digital age. But they are well worth reading. The titles are
"Photography for the Joy Of It"
"Photography of Natural Things"
"Photography & The Art of Seeing"
Sincerely,
Jack Porter
Product Review Summary: Unique Inspiration! David du Chemin has a unique way of not only inspiring you to "get out there" and play, but also draws you unselfishly into his world of photography.
Someone who has never held a camera in their hands before could pick up this book to read and not want to put it down. It is a book about life, about love, about humility, but most of all about the vision of a man and his passion for life and people, which he expresses through the lens of a camera.
A brilliant read!

Product Review Summary: A book to to go - deep - inside your " photographic soul ". I love photography and shoot great pictures!
I know everything about my digital camera and wanted a book to go - deep - inside my " photographic soul ".
After lots of search, I found this one.
It is perfect to me!
So: if you love photos, take great ones, and want to undestand your internal process of creation, this is your book!
Product Review Summary: How-to, Why-to, When-to There are tons of books that talk about technique, like exposure, composition, post processing and so forth. As far as I know there are only a handful of good books that tell about how to get the secret ingredient. This book is one of them.
David's approach is an interesting and compelling way of thinking about photography, especially because most of us don't tend to think like an artist. This book will help you become a better photographer even if you still tend heavily toward the logical and analytical. This book will certainly cause you to seriously think about the issues of photographically conveying the essence of a person, place, or culture.
