Turquoise's Reviews > CHINA: Portrait of a People

I don't doubt that it's hard to fit this much material into one photography book, but I don't understand the author's process of picking what to include. On the one hand, it is about people, which makes sense given the book's title. On the other hand, it also includes urban images and landscapes, which also makes sense given that people's surroundings are also important. However, what the method to pick one over the other, the mix, the approach, is all unclear. A bit of introduction to the material would have helped. To me, the pictures don't speak for themselves and I did not find the randomness helpful. I also didn't like the way the author referred to various types of people.
