China: Portrait of a People
Tom Carter
"An extraordinary photographer whose powerful work captures the heart and soul of the Chinese people."
- Anchee Min, author of Red Azalea and Empress Orchid
"An honest and objective record of the Chinese and our way of life... [Tom Carter's] camera leads us through 33 wide-sweeping scenes of the real and the surreal."
- Mian Mian, author of Candy
"It takes a great boldness of spirit to set out to capture the essence of so diverse a people as the Chinese in a single volume of photography. The thrill is to discover that Tom Carter has achieved just that."
- Chris Wood, Editor-in-Chief, Asia Literary Review
"If you don't quite have Carter's persistence to travel those 56,000 kilometers to see it for yourself, China: Portrait of a People is the best way to get started." ****
- HK Magazine
Armed with his backpack and an Olympus camera, Tom Carter travelled to all 33 provinces of China and captured the distinct features and lifestyles of the nation's 56 ethnic groups. The images he collected during his epic journey break all stereotypes of the Chinese. This 15cm-squared book is small but substantial at 638 pages, and it offers a stunning visual tribute to the People's Republic of China.
