Mitchell Kanashkevich wanders some of the world’s most remote places, capturing the ethereal beauty of the world’s disappearing cultures with his remarkable photos. From India to Indonesia, he documents the lives of people whose traditions may vanish as modernity encroaches.

They were so good that I instantly knew that this was a photographer that I wanted to interview. I also recommend that you check out Mitchell’s blog.
