A keen eye for color and light is always a given with Arthur Meyerson's work. But it is his strong sense of design, and knowledge of the right moment that are so apparent in his book. Meyerson has worked and played hard at photography for almost four decades. The Color of Light is a rare treat. Seldom does the art and craft of making a book all work perfectly together. The book's design is exceptional, and the quality of its printing high. That he has thought about making this book for years comes through in his careful selection and sequencing of images. Most importantly, every one of the book's 113 images are strong.

Since 1974, professional assignments have taken photographer Arthur Meyerson around the world to all 7 continents. Throughout it all, Meyerson's fascination with light, color and the moment has never ceased and he has continued to produce a body of personal work that has grown into an impressive archive, The Color of Light. With essays by fellow photographers, Sam Abell, Jay Maisel and a conversation with John Paul Caponigro, The Color of Light not only details Meyerson's photographic philosophy, but also discusses and illustrates many of the themes and ideas expressed in his renowned photographs. A selection of 113 of Meyerson's iconic images are included and further reveal his mastery of the medium. At home and away, the subject matter is diverse as seen only through the eye of this photographer.
