CHINA / 185 POSTCARDS

Shanghai

Skylines across the river, streets full of movement and quiet corners between the towers. These 185 photographs bring together city views, portraits, gardens, interiors and the changing light of Shanghai.

The complete sequence stays together: market streets and canals, observation decks and night lights, garden paths and resting cats. Similar views remain as individual photographs, preserving different moments and viewpoints.
