Impressions of Light is William Neill's ethereal take on shooting landscapes with single exposure camera motion.
William's thoughts about his book:
"Throughout my career, I have been seeking to inspire passion for the natural world and convey my emotional response to the subjects I photograph - that of awe and wonder.
In 2005, when I learned a new way for me to convey such an emotional response by the use of camera movement during exposure, I began creating a new body of work entitled Impressions of Light. Inspired by color photographers Ernst Haas and Freeman Patterson, and of course the great Impressionistic painters, this work is simply another way to depict the deeply moving beauty I see in Nature.
The most important aspect of my approach to creating these images is that they are all single exposures created with camera motion only. Having seen other techniques used, such as multiple exposure methods, I find the single exposure approach works best for the mood I wish to create. The resulting images have an organic and painterly look. Other approaches often look heavily manipulated or Photoshopped, while my style is to paint with the actual textures, light and color I see in front of my camera.
No major post-processing manipulation has been applied beyond basic digital darkroom techniques such as contrast and color saturation control.
