Yangtze – The Long River captures the transformative landscape along the Yangtze River through a contemplative photographic approach. Nadav Kander’s images present a tension between natural beauty and industrial development, revealing the complex interaction between environment and human presence in this vast region.
The photographs employ a muted color palette and composition that emphasize scale and solitude, evoking a mood of quiet reflection. The work traces the river from its mountainous source to its industrialized mouth, documenting changes over 188 pages with careful attention to both expansive views and intimate details.
