“The printing and hard cover binding are exceptional and the front cover image is visually arresting. Your passion for this art form and your exhibit’s ten years of success are evident throughout. This is a stunning record of your decade of success and of the variety and quality of the art you have championed. The photographs you include range from provocative to lyrical to whimsical, and are always unique and impactful. Some of my favorites include “Windfall,” “Grab Death by the Horns,” “Voices of Change,” and “Be Careful What You Wish For.” The interviews with photographers offer insightful glimpses into their processes and aesthetics.”
-Writer’s Digest Book Review
“[Moments in Focus] is a fascinating collection of pictures, interspersed with interviews with some of the photographers. The photographs are many and varied: a torn bag snagged on a fence; a glimpse of sky between crowded flats, wide and wonderful Canadian landscapes; an abandoned kitchen; a pathway through a forest; a jumble of tents with skyscrapers behind; a deserted building falling back into the land; lots of patterns from nature and from everyday life, always there, but not always noticed; and, of course, people in all their rich diversity. There is so much here to delight in, a tapestry that reflects all the complexity and wonders of life.”
– Rubery Book Award Review
“[…] The book might feel like an immersive magazine since its large-format pictures fill up a good portion of the pages. The texts, which usually occupy smaller portions, are both straightforward and very informative. All in all, Moments in Focus by Alexis Marie Chute is a brilliant collection of awe-inspiring images and bookmark-worthy words. It’s a brilliant addition to the photography industry. Spark your photography passion with this gem!”
