Nadav Kander’s photo essay “Yangtze: The Long River” wins award at international photo festival, is featured in London’s Guardian newspaper

The LianZhou International Photo Festival announced that Nadav Kander’s “Yangtze: The Long River” has won a Silver Award. “Using the Yangtze River as a metaphor for constant change, Kander has photographed the landscape and people along its banks from its source to its mouth,” the festival explains on its website. “He has worked intuitively…responding to what he felt and saw as he came across it, seeking out a personal iconography for the series.” In an interview with The Guardian of London, Kander says he was interested in the migrant aspect of life in China. “I started photographing individuals in one place and then transferring them into other pictures, in a sort of ‘photographic migration,’” he tells Leo Benedictus in an article titled “Nadav Kander’s Best Shot.” Read the article here.
