China, a vast nation of 1.3 billion people, was until recently a closed book to most in the west. At the dawn of of the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing, the French-born photographer François Maréchal determined to travel through China to capture people and places. The result is a remarkable book which offers black and white fine art photographs of a country undergoing tremendous changes. From Beijing to Lhasa, from Hong Kong to Shanghai, this is China uniquely captured by François Maréchal.
Deluxe hardcover copies of the book are available from the
Blurb bookstore (72 pages, black and white photographs, text in english).
