Light Falls Like Bits

Trey Ratcliff

Photographer Trey Ratcliff crosses borders
to find beauty—both literally and figuratively.
In a world where people are inundated with
images of despair and violence, Ratcliff seeks
out life’s gorgeous moments all over the globe
and captures them to share with others. As
a pioneer of High Dynamic Range (HDR)
photography, Ratcliff mixes technology and art
together to make each photo as stunning as
the real-life experience.


Trey Ratcliff’s new eBook Light Falls Like Bits will be
released in October of 2015. This innovative multimedia
book presents his meditative photography along with text
summaries and audio captions (for iOS only) read by the
author himself creating a rich immersive digital experience.
Ratcliff’s images are more than just pixels on a screen—
they are memories: a sweaty climb up a spiral mountain,
or a surreal sunrise in a sleeping bag by the water. Each
photograph captures a moment in the faceted world where
we live, work, and explore.


Light Falls Like Bits is an eye-opening memoir, geography
lesson, and metaphor, mixed perfectly to create a book that
showcases the beauty of Earth. The book also lends insight
into the photographer’s process, and the making of the
images. These are not merely fleeting instances, but chances
of personal reflection on the sometimes arduous, draining, or
mundane happenstances of life that allow for us to step back
and realize the truly beautiful things all around us.
