Modern China

China is changing. With construction everywhere, new cities are being built from old and others are literally rising up from farmland.

Apart from the economic changes China is also experiencing a massive cultural change. Consumerism and capitalism are no longer seen as the evils they once were, and cultural influences from the West are mixing with old China. It is this mix of new and old that I have tried to capture in these photographs.

Whether it be the skyscrapers jetting out of the ground in Pudong Shanghai which only relatively recently was still farmland or the masses of Chinese tourists, cameras in hand, visiting the Yellow mountains that were used in traditional paintings, China changes by the second.
