Author Description

Photographer Trey Ratcliff crosses borders<br/><br/>to find beauty—both literally and figuratively.<br/><br/>In a world where people are inundated with<br/><br/>images of despair and violence, Ratcliff seeks<br/><br/>out life’s gorgeous moments all over the globe<br/><br/>and captures them to share with others. As<br/><br/>a pioneer of High Dynamic Range (HDR)<br/><br/>photography, Ratcliff mixes technology and art<br/><br/>together to make each photo as stunning as<br/><br/>the real-life experience.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Trey Ratcliff’s new eBook Light Falls Like Bits will be<br/><br/>released in October of 2015. This innovative multimedia<br/><br/>book presents his meditative photography along with text<br/><br/>summaries and audio captions (for iOS only) read by the<br/><br/>author himself creating a rich immersive digital experience.<br/><br/>Ratcliff’s images are more than just pixels on a screen—<br/><br/>they are memories: a sweaty climb up a spiral mountain,<br/><br/>or a surreal sunrise in a sleeping bag by the water. Each<br/><br/>photograph captures a moment in the faceted world where<br/><br/>we live, work, and explore.<br/><br/><br/><br/>Light Falls Like Bits is an eye-opening memoir, geography<br/><br/>lesson, and metaphor, mixed perfectly to create a book that<br/><br/>showcases the beauty of Earth. The book also lends insight<br/><br/>into the photographer’s process, and the making of the<br/><br/>images. These are not merely fleeting instances, but chances<br/><br/>of personal reflection on the sometimes arduous, draining, or<br/><br/>mundane happenstances of life that allow for us to step back<br/><br/>and realize the truly beautiful things all around us.
