According to Matthieu Ricard, a photographer is a painter whose medium is light and whose brush is the gaze. In his latest work, Light, the culmination of sixty years of photography, he shares a chromatic symphony exploring the world at different scales—from the tiniest details of moss and rocks to vast landscapes—reminding us of the profound connection between the microcosm and the macrocosm in nature.
Painting with light is not limited to capturing the nuances of the sky and the contours of the natural world; it is also about revealing the inner light that emanates from glances, faces, and hearts.
From the infinitely large to the infinitely small, Light is both a photographic and meditative experience at the heart of the luminous spectrum. This beautiful book features nearly 90 previously unpublished photographs by Matthieu Ricard, revealing for the first time the full scope of his photographic work.
