Fish Face

Summary: fish face
Review: Doubilet has done it again. As a vintage underwater photographer of 50 years I have devoured all of his books, as an inspiration. Undoubtedly he is the best underwater photographer in the world today and his use of light and subject matter are masterly. Fish Face is an interesting and difficult theme handled with great aplomb.I recommend this work to photographers and all those interested in the sea.

Summary: Great Pictures
Review: I am a huge fan of David doubilet. His photography is amazing and awe inspiring. My only quam with this book is that it is too small. Many pictures are ruined because they stretch over pages and parts are lost. The hardcover edition seems to remedy the problem though. As no content is lost to the binding. His Water Light Time book is one of my favorite books in my library. And Fish Face is already one of my favorites. The pictures are great, and he has once again proven his ability as a photographer

Summary: Underwater "film" festival
Review: I am an underwater photographer caught up in the film vs digital debate. Mr. Doubilet's book Fish Face, Water Light Time and his National Geographic works go a long way to keep me completely divesting myself from film in favor of pixels. At a recent lecture in Santa Barbara Mr. Doubilet indicated that he is still swimming with film with marginal mental and financial investment into digital techniques. His most credible argument in favor of film was black and white imagery and the use of filters. The unpublished works he showed us were incredible and I hope to see a collected works before digital devours us all. I have found Fish Face a good learning tool in terms of composition and and an exercise in recognize the moment and capture that moment, whereas I found Water, Light Time a good study in terms of lighting, composition and imagination. What I am really waiting for is the black and white.

Summary: This is a Great Little Book!
Review: I bought this book on an impulse. It is a great buy. I am a teacher and often buy coffee table books for students to look at. This is a fun book and students will love it. I enjoyed looking at it myself and will again when I share it with others.

Summary: fish humor
Review: I have collected many of David Doubilet's published works and I find in this book a bit of whimsy. The pages are filled with expressions and personality and I find it funny that Mr. Doubilet likens many of his fish subjects to beloved human personalities. It is fun to go through and imagine who looks most like "that fish face". An inexpensive treat to have some fun with if you like fish.
