Nadav Kander - Yangtze, The Long River

I came across these photos by Nadav Kander a couple moths ago, and thought they were an amazing documentation of the crazy development and landscape alteration that's happening all over the world, especially in China.

Yangtze, The Long River  uses the river as a metaphor for constant change, Nadav photographed the landscape and people along its banks from mouth to source. China’s landscape is changing daily economically and physically, and that is why according to Nadav these are photographs that can never be taken again.

The Yangtze River flows 6380km across China, and it's banks and waterways provide homes and livelihood for hundreds of millions of Chinese. It's estimated that more people live along its banks than the entire population of the US, one in every eighteen people on the planet. That's a lot of people.

As usual, Nadav's photos are gorgeous, and the project has won numerous photo awards.
