Abstract "In this book, Larry Fink, well-known for his layered pictures in social settings, explores composing photographs and improvising within a scene to create images with both feeling and meaning. Through words and photographs, he reveals insight into his own practice and discusses a wide range of creative issues, from connecting with the subject in front of the lens to shaping a vision that is authentic."--from the publisher.
