Light Falls Like Bits

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.
