Jay Maisel has been hailed as one of the most brilliant, gifted photographers of all time. But he is also much more than that-he is a mentor, teacher, and trailblazer to many photographers, and a hero to those who feel Jay's teaching has changed the way they see and create their own photography. He is a living legend whose work is studied around the world, and whose teaching style and presentation garner standing ovations and critical acclaim every time he takes the stage. In his first educational book, Light, Gesture, and Color, Jay put his amazing insights and learning moments from a lifetime behind the lens into a book that communicated the three most important aspects of street photography: light, gesture, and color. Here, in It's Not About the F-Stop, Jay continues and builds on that success to take students beyond the buttons and dials on their camera to continue to teach them how to "see" like a photographer, and how to capture the world around them in a way that delights, intrigues, and challenges the viewer. Each page unveils something new and challenges them to rethink everything they know about the bigger picture of photography. This isn't a book about f-stops or ISOs. It's about seeing. And there is nobody that communicates this, visually or through the written word, like Jay Maisel.
