By exploring the idea of photographing in iconic/famous places Mitchell delves into the heart of what it takes to find your own voice and story. He’ll unpack the processes behind his creative decisions and he doesn’t shy away from practical topics; such as, types of light, off-camera flash in a softbox, and choosing the right angles.

Mitchell Kanaskevitch in not new to e-book writing, he published already two of them by himself, but it certainly is a good news he decided to join the Craft & Vision brand. The 46 pages of ““Journey Through Java” showcases 24 of Mitchell Kanaskevitch photographs made on a trip to this interesting location. The 3 series of images correspond to three regions visited, and are focusing on people the photographer met on the way, and their struggle to make the living in the difficult terrain. Mitchell Kanaskevitch really mastered the use of light to his advantage, from the fire to the sunset to create tell tale silhouettes. Effective use of light is a focus of the last part of the e-book, where each image is commented on why and how it was made. The author provides some tips on when to introduce a flash, and when it is better to stick with tripod. This section contains also additional short stories about people portrayed in the e-book. Overall, the “Journey Through Java” e-book presents great images accompanied by incredible stories of hard working people, living in extreme location. With some photographic advice attached to it. Well worth checkin out.

Looking good, I live in Java and should read this! :)
Wow. I think that it is the best book so far in the series. Finally, the photographs are spectacular and match the written content. I like the fact that apart from a vision-based approach, there are some technical tips. It makes for an interesting read and helps to break the pace. Highly recommended! Having new faces in the series is the way to go.
Just purchased – can’t wait to read it. I have the entire Craft & Vision eBook library. No other books have changed the way I think about my photography more than these. Thank you C & V!
Looking good, I will get it as soon as I am at home!
