I just love the books that are produced by the Craft & Vision folks. They’ve come up with a great business model - find photographers who have interesting things to say, beautiful images, and then plop them down into a fantastic template and offer the product at a great price.
Close To Home, Finding Great Photographs in Your Own Backyard, is the latest in the Craft & Vision eBook line-up. I’ve written a bit about this over at www.currentphotographer.com, so please check it out!

Journey Through Java is the fifth in the Craft & Vision series The Print & The Process. Mitchell Kanashkevich is a curious world wanderer and a travel/documentary photographer who works passionately and skillfully to create exceptional images of some of the most amazing places in the world. This eBook is built around a series of images from his journey around East Java, predominantly Ijen Crater, Mount Bromo and the Island of Madura. 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 doesn’t stop there. He goes beyond surface level impressions and shares his insights into how to create deep and meaningful photographs.
Once again the Craft & Vision folks deliver meaningful information in a usable format at a great price!

The process and thinking behind those photographs are explained from a technical angle and the discussion of post-processing includes two free downloadable Adobe Lightroom Presets. For you travelers, David also briefly discusses logistics involved in the travel and supporting the digital workflow while tenting his way through Iceland.
