Jonah Kessel – visual journalist and cinematographer

[kandinsky]

If you're a frequent reader of NYTimes, you've probably seen Jonah Kessel's work before. But when you're watching news, you rarely pay attention to the person behind the camera. Started noticing his work more after reading his guest posts on newsshooter.com/dslrnewsshooter.com.

Check out his vimeo channel:

Jonah Kessel is a Pulitzer Prize-winning visual journalist and cinematographer. He covers China for the video desk of the New York Times and wishes that curiosity was an ice cream flavor.
Outside of the news media world, Kessel makes pictures and videos for non profit and governmental organizations as well as multinational commercial enterprises.

LEAVING THE LAND
This is the second of three videos produced for the New York Times' series "Leaving the Land." Articles in this series look at how China's government-driven effort to push the population to towns and cities is reshaping a nation that for millenniums has been defined by its rural life.
Urban, But Left Behind examines possible consequences to the Chinese governments plan to urbanize its population, if the plan is not carried out fairly.
