What others have said about Yousef’s book…
Philip Hyde, photographer
“Yousef – I’m surrounded here with images from all the periods of my work – & now, I am looking through your magnificent book full of such beautiful, mystical images that are so different from mine. And I celebrate that difference! Yet, I feel such a kindredness to yours & you: we are both worshippers of light. And so I feel it is alright for me to send you a copy of my book The Range of Light & a sampling of some of my images – though I will urge you, most of all, to read Muir’s words, for he is also a kindred spirit & has much to say about light. Many, deep thanks for sharing your thoughts & images with us.”
Galen Rowell, Mountain Light
“Your book is fabulous! I had no idea you were such a fine photographer. The images, the words, the design, and the reproduction all come together into a wonderful whole, more reminiscent of the classic Sierra Club exhibit books than the big publisher pablum of today.”
Photo Art Magazine, London
“…disarmingly passionate, showing his total commitment to the medium …it is a simply beautiful book …These beautiful landscapes demonstrate the fruits of Yousef’s pursuit of that special light …it is not necessary to say anything about them: they speak so eloquently for themselves.”
Nature’s Best (Connie Toops), U.S.A.
“Influenced by masters of painting and photography, Khanfar polished his skills of design and composition, using a large-format camera to capture images that communicate his deep bond with nature. Voices of Light is an elegant portfolio of 60 evocative landscapes, in which Khanfar eloquently shares the view through his lens.”
Outdoor Photographer Magazine, U.S.A.
“A dazzling, dreamy look at the landscape, at times abstract, other times, descriptive…”
Photo Life Magazine, Canada
“Yousef Khanfar’s landscapes are frozen in time, touched and transformed by light. Each image has its own mood, suggesting a deep sense of spirituality.”
The Bookwatch Review, U.S.A.
“Yousef Khanfar’s passion for photography as his language of choice for conveying the beauty, inspiration, grandeur, intimacy, and spirituality of landscape imagery… Voices of Light is a most remarkable and memorable volume of powerful photography with each image offering a window to the world while revealing the handiwork of God.”
