The goal of this ebook is to help you see those opportunities and the photographs that lie within them. Close to Home is 37 spreads of photographs, insights, and exercises that will inspire as you develop your own craft.
This is a great eBook for those of you who need a little bit of inspiration, who always think or wish they can go to some of remote place on earth to photograph something, who think that they can get great photograph if they can travel to Bhutan, if they can travel to Annapurna in Nepal or any exotic place but due to certain circumstances they can’t go there or simply they can afford to go there.
Let’s not forget that those far reaching out exotic place is considered their own backyard by the people who live there, most people there doesn’t really think that they live in heaven but we think they are so lucky because they are born there and if you tell them that you are coming from New York or London, they will tell you the same that you are lucky guy who born in New York or live in London.
This is great ebook that will open our eyes to look at our home or our own backyard with a different perspective or to look at our own home country from the eyes of foreigner. Sometimes when we get so accustomed to something, we see them as ordinary, I live here in Kuala Lumpur where we have a beautiful Petronas Twin Tower and at the moment still can be considered as the tallest Twin Tower in the world even though it is no longer the tallest building in the world where once it hold the title.
Whenever I come there, I see a lot of foreigners or tourist taking picture of the Twin Tower from different angle and I can see their face full of excitement, gleaming with a big smile once they get their picture taken against a gigantic Petronas Twin Tower and I have to admit that I rarely take a picture of that Twin Tower even though sometimes I see a really beautiful golden light shining on it, like I said maybe because my eyes were get so accustomed with the building where something fantastic look normal to me.
After finish reading Close to Home eBook by Stuart Sipahigil, I’ve a new vision where I now can adjust my eyes to look at something ordinary beyond ordinary, actually we all live in the beautiful world but because we are too long living at one place, we tend to take for granted anything close to our home, yes there is nothing wrong to venture out or to travel to some other place across the globe but let’s us not forget that we actually can photograph something great, something extra ordinary just right in front of our nose, just close at home.
To find out more about the ebook, you can head over to Craft And Vision and start enjoying taking photograph something close to our home. Highly recommended to open our eyes looking at our home country with a different perspective, with a fresh eyes, with the eyes of curious foreigner.
