In today’s tumultuous age, photography has become a pervasive pursuit. Everywhere you look, people have cameras, and everyone seems to be passionate about taking photos which spark their wide-eyed interest. As with anything in life, the importance is not in the accomplishment of what photography can do, but rather in the love which you bring to the art of photography. This stunning volume contains striking images and inspires awe of our natural world. The transformative photography in this book approaches its subject matter with a comprehensive, evolutionary, detached but warm love, coupled with humor and an ability to leave things unaltered and fundamentally free.   Excerpt "Innerly, I intuit that the camera «knows» potentially more about photography than what I can lay a claim to." "Perhaps photography sincerely, (albeit subconsciously), wishes to experimentally escort the world toward a compendious personal and collective change." "No more should a conscientious photographer uphold an attitude that conjures the old, covetous grasping way; nor should he ever stoop to pose in an ignominious posture of subtle avidity; nor ever, with an apparent pride of possessive accomplishment." "I do feel that the camera, if respected, really does lead me on and tells me intuitively at what precise, precious moment to click the shutter." "What it boils to really, is just how openly and receptively the impassioned photographer approaches, or exploits, his photographic domain. If you truly want your camera to use its inherent intelligence you have to allow it to «see» with you."

Suzanne Ferland, CTB-TV
“Awesome beauty, striking images sending you on a voyage through nature. Much illustrated by a photographer who certainly is no beginner, he knows to how to bring us back the essential… Moments of reflections and communication with nature throughout the world.”

“Transformative photography embarks the viewer upon a symbolic journey, and picture by
picture, step by step, invites the beholder, despite himself, to reflect more deeply and maybe, just maybe, commit himself to nurturing a more wholesome attitude.”
