The People of China

With over one billion people China can be a paradise for the avid photographer of people. The range of subject matter is vast, from the sophisticated city dwellers to the backward poverty of the rural folk. Throw in numerous ethnic minorities and you have a treasure house of photographs. Photographing people is my favorite subject matter. On this page you'll find a selection of photos from across China. For a look at Chinese people in a common everyday activity see my pictures of the Chinese market place. This page has only a sampling of my photographs of the Chinese people - inquire if you have a special interest.
